The Popular Front for the Realization of the Objectives of the Revolution (Arabic: الجبهة الشعبية لتحقيق أهداف الثورة; French: Front populaire pour la réalisation des objectifs de la révolution), abbreviated as the Popular Front (ej-Jabha), is a leftist political and electoral alliance in Tunisia, made up of nine political parties and numerous independents.
The coalition was formed in October 2012, bringing together 12 mainly left-wing Tunisian parties including the Democratic Patriots' Unified Party, the Workers' Party, Green Tunisia, the Movement of Socialist Democrats (which has since left), the Tunisian Ba'ath Movement and Arab Democratic Vanguard Party , two different parties of the Iraqi branch of Ba'ath Party, and other progressive parties.[4] The number of parties involved in the coalition has since decreased to nine.[5] Approximately 15,000 people attended the coalition's first meeting in Tunis.[6]
