Popular Dignity ({{Langx|es|Dignidad Popular}}), also known as the Popular Dignity Party ({{Langx|es|Partido Dignidad Popular}}), is a far-right and neo-Nazi{{Cite web |date=2023 |title=Mirá cómo quedaron conformados los frentes que competirán en las elecciones nacionales y provinciales |url=https://infocielo.com/politica-y-economia/mira-como-quedaron-conformados-los-frentes-que-competiran-las-elecciones-nacionales-y-provinciales-n105929 |access-date=2023-12-17 |website=www.infocielo.com |language=es-AR}} political party founded by Ernesto Raúl Habrá in 2015 to compete in the Buenos Aires Province elections as a district party. By 2019, the group would cover several districts, thus becoming a national party.
History
In 2017, the Popular Dignity Party tried to form a district alliance with the political party of the same style, the Popular Party. The National Electoral Chamber ratified a first instance ruling in which the judge Juan Manuel Culotta confirmed that the measure taken underlined the absence of official minutes and documents, with the respective signatures of party authorities, which would have confirmed their real and active existence. It stopped due to formal defects the payment of 72 million pesos to the Federal Union Front (name that the future front would bear) to finance the printing of ballots for the next Simultaneous and Mandatory Open Primaries (PASSED). This political coalition was considered as a typical "electoral SME", and had registered 26 lists, 13 for deputies and 13 for senators.{{Cite web |last=Clarín.com |date=2017-07-10 |title=Ivo Cutzarida se defiende: 'Soy un proscripto político' |url=https://www.clarin.com/politica/frenan-pago-72-millones-pesos-frente-electoral-iba-26-listas_0_Byn90kbHb.html |access-date=2023-03-07 |website=Clarín |language=es}}{{Cite web |title=El frente político de un polémico actor y de un cantante de cumbia al que la justicia electoral sacó de carrera |url=http://www.politicargentina.com/notas/201707/21724-el-frente-politico-de-un-polemico-actor-y-de-un-cantante-de-cumbia-al-que-la-justicia-electoral-saco-de-carrera.html |access-date=2023-03-07 |website=www.politicargentina.com |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=PASO: el frente que llevaba como candidatos a Ivo Cutzarida y Antonio Ríos no podrá competir por irregularidades |url=https://www.infobae.com/politica/2017/07/10/paso-el-frente-que-llevaba-como-candidatos-a-ivo-cutzarida-y-antonio-rios-no-podra-competir-por-irregularidades/ |access-date=2023-03-07 |website=infobae |language=es-ES}}
In 2019, the political group participated in the provincial elections in two districts without an alliance: in the province of Buenos Aires, in which it nominated Santiago Cuneo for governor,{{Cite web |last=Clarín.com |date=2019-06-24 |title=Santiago Cúneo será candidato por fuera del PJ pero 'respaldará' a los Fernández |url=https://www.clarin.com/politica/santiago-cuneo-candidato-pj-respaldara-fernandez_0_LI14bV0mo.html |access-date=2023-03-07 |website=Clarín |language=es}} and in the city of Buenos Aires where they chose Leonardo Martínez Herrero as the city's head of government.{{Cite web |date= |title=Leonardo Martínez Herrero, candidato a jefe de gobierno crítica a Larreta. |url=https://www.hamartia.com.ar/2019/07/28/larreta-vecinos-enemigos/ |archive-url= |archive-date= |access-date= |website=hamartia.com.ar}} The party failed to qualify for the general elections in any of its districts. In the presidential elections, they joined the far-right and neo-Nazi Patriot Front at the national level, and as a candidate nominated the neo-Nazi Alejandro Biondini.{{Cite web |title=Cámara Nacional Electoral |url=https://www.electoral.gob.ar/nuevo/paginas/datos/alianzas2019.php |access-date=2023-03-07 |website=www.electoral.gob.ar}}
In the 2021 Argentine legislative election, the party formed various district alliances, the majority of which were right-wing. In the province of Buenos Aires, they joined the right-wing libertarian front Avanza Libertad.{{Cite web |title=Espert logra unir al liberalismo en provincia de buenos aires por fuera de JxC |url=https://derechadiario.com.ar/argentina/espert-logra-unir-al-liberalismo-en-provincia-de-buenos-aires-por-fuera-de-juntos-por-el-cambio |archive-url=}} In the city of Buenos Aires,{{Cite web |title=Candidatos elecciones PASO provincia de Buenos Aires 2021 |url=https://www.baenegocios.com/amp/politica/Elecciones-2021-candidatos-PASO-en-CABA-y-partidos-politicos-20210901-0063.html }} as well as in the Mendoza Province,{{Cite web |title=Dignidad Popular – Frente Patriota Federal |url=https://frentepatriota.org/tag/dignidad-popular/ |access-date=2023-03-07 |language=es}} they joined the Patriot Front.

In August 2022, the electoral court disapproved of the expense report made by Avanza Libertad for the printing of ballots for the 2021 elections, following a complaint made by members of the front originally from the Democratic Party and the Union of the Democratic Centre accusing members of the party. Thus, the Avanza Libertad alliance was penalized for a total of 18,197,516 pesos for not having been able to duly prove the destination for which state contributions were used in the presentation of the final report of the primary election campaign.{{Cite web |date=30 August 2022 |title=La Justicia electoral desaprobó la rendición de gastos de Avanza Libertad |url=https://www.telam.com.ar/notas/202208/603262-justicia-electoral-multa-rendicion-gastos-avanza-libertad.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220831225303/https://www.telam.com.ar/notas/202208/603262-justicia-electoral-multa-rendicion-gastos-avanza-libertad.html |archive-date=31 August 2022 |access-date=7 March 2023 |website=Télam |language=es-Ar}}
