Freedom Advances

Liberty Advances (; LA or LLA) is a right-wing to far-right political coalition originated in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a conservative and ultraconservative tendency on social and cultural issues and right-wing libertarian in economic issues. Its first electoral participation was at the 2021 Argentine legislative election, obtaining the third place with 17% of the votes in the capital. The coalition is led by the economist and national deputy Javier Milei, who is the coalition's candidate for president in the 2023 Argentine general election. Ideologically, La Libertad Avanza has been described as ultraconservative. It has taken paleolibertarian, minarchist, anarcho-capitalist, Argentine nationalist, and anti-communist positions. It has been characterized as anti-establishment, anti-politics, and opposed to Kirchnerism, and has been accused of denial of Argentine state terrorism during its period of dictatorship in the 1970s and 1980s. Due to its radical political stances and that of its leader, who has been described as a controversial, eccentric, and ultraconservative economist, it has been labelled as far right, and compared to Spain's far-right Vox party. After having sealed an agreement with the politician Juan José Gómez Centurión, the candidates Victoria Villarruel and María Fernanda Araujo, among other conservative leaders, joined the alliance. Milei presented himself separately from the Buenos Aires candidate José Luis Espert, with whom he had previously been linked in the Avanza Libertad. Milei explained that there is no relationship with the Córdoba electoral front La Libertad Avanza. Milei and Villaruel are the coalition's presidential and vice-presidential candidates for the 2023 general election.
