Generation for a National Encounter (Spanish: Generación para un Encuentro Nacional), sometimes known as the GEN Party (Spanish: Partido GEN) or simply as GEN, is a centre-left[14] political party in Argentina. It was founded in 2007 by Margarita Stolbizer as a split from the Radical Civic Union, in opposition to the UCR's endorsement of Roberto Lavagna's general election.
The party forms part of the Juntos por el Cambio coalition since 2021.[15] In the 2021 legislative election, Stolbizer herself was elected to the Chamber of Deputies, granting the party representation at the federal level for the first time since 2017.
