By mid 1935 the Communist International (CI) strongly reoriented its analysis of the geopolitical situation. At the light of the fascist advance in Germany, the CI considered that its main goal was now to confront fascism through the setting-up of "Popular Fronts", that is, political alliances with "democratic" and liberal sectors, all belonging to the wide field of antifascism, without considering their class membership.

This paper will investigate the debates that arose in the Communist Party of Argentina (CP) as a result of its difficulties to implement that political orientation during the years 1937 and 1938, after the first frustrated attempts to make an alliance with the Socialist Party and the Radical Civic Union. We will examine the impact of these difficulties on the political development of the CP, for which we will explore the responses, controversies and solutions proposed both by the local party leadership and by the CI. We will argue that these debates led to an expansion of the tactical forms with which the CP considered possible an approach to the "democratic forces." The Popular Front was conceived as a "movement", which progressively merged with the communist intervention in the labor movement and in the antifascist space.
