The Workers’ Left Front (FIT) won a surprise 3.3 percent of the vote in Argentina’s August primary elections and is looking for another positive result today. The fresh face of the formation is its presidential candidate Nicolás del Caño, a thirty-five-year-old who surprised observers in 2013 when he won a congressional seat in a traditionally conservative province. Caño was recently interviewed for Jacobin by Ian Steinman, an activist living in Rio de Janeiro and a contributor to Left Voice.

FIT’s approach to coalition building and far left strategy is in many ways more orthodox than their counterparts in Europe and Latin America and Caño’s rhetoric in the following interview reflects that. But the possibility that space will continue to open to the left of Peronism means that the Workers’ Left Front and the debates that range within it are worth taking seriously.
