Kolina (an acronym of Corriente de Liberación Nacional, lit. 'National Liberation Current') is a Kirchnerist political party in Argentina founded in 2010 by Alicia Kirchner, sister of former president of Argentina, Néstor Kirchner.[4] The party now forms part of Unión por la Patria,[11] the former ruling coalition supporting then-President Alberto Fernández.[13] At the time of its foundation and until the alliance's dissolution, the party was a member of the Front for Victory.[1]
Following the 2019 general election, the party has representation in the Argentine Chamber of Deputies (the National Deputies Lisandro Bormioli, María Rosa Martínez and Paola Vessvessian belong to Kolina).[14][15][16][17] In addition, Alicia Kirchner was governor of Santa Cruz Province from 2015 to 2023.
