The Broad Front is an Uruguayan coalition of center-left to left-wing political parties, founded on 5 February 1971. It was formed as a coalition of more than a dozen fractured leftist parties and movements, and many of its members were former Tupamaros. Following the 1973 military coup, the Broad Front was banned, but it re-emerged in 1984 when democracy was restored. The progressive coalition generally supported a socialist economy with expanded social programs, but some factions supported fiscal conservatism (Uruguay Assembly) or even social conservatism (Christian Democratic Party).
