'''Recreate for Growth''' ({{langx|es|Recrear para el Crecimiento}}, often just '''Recrear''') was a [[centre-right]]<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.clarin.com/ediciones-anteriores/frente-macri-murphy-nombre-propuesta-republicana_0_r1WMWJukAKx.html|title=El frente de Macri y Murphy tiene nombre: Propuesta Republicana|date=24 August 2005 |work= [[Clarín (Argentine newspaper)|Clarín]]}}</ref> political party in [[Argentina]], principally active in the [[Province of Buenos Aires]].

It existed from 2002 to 2009 and again during 2020, from August to November.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.infobae.com/politica/2020/10/09/lopez-murphy-prepara-su-candidatura-y-lanza-hoy-su-frente-electoral-desafio-2021/|title = López Murphy prepara su candidatura y lanza hoy su frente electoral "Desafío 2021″| date=9 October 2020 }}</ref>

==Ideology and principles==
López Murphy defines Recrear as "simply liberal", a supporter of modern [[capitalism]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.clarin.com/ediciones-anteriores/ricardo-lopez-murphy-pesar-macri-economista-anima-vez_0_r1rbTLyJRFe.html|title = Ricardo López Murphy: A pesar de Macri, el economista se anima otra vez|date = 6 October 2007}}</ref>

He maintains that he tried with Recrear "to have a serious liberal party, organized as in the advanced democracies of the world, which continues with the traditions of [[Juan Bautista Alberdi]] and [[Leandro Alem]]."<ref name=":0" />

López Murphy was against [[gay marriage]], decriminalization of [[Recreational drug use|drug use]] and [[abortion]].<ref>{{Cite news|last=Sued|first=Gabriel|date=2007-10-23|title=Oposición al aborto de los principales candidatos|language=es-AR|work=La Nación|url=https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/oposicion-al-aborto-de-los-principales-candidatos-nid955699/|access-date=2021-11-30|issn=0325-0946}}</ref>

==History==
The party was formed in March 2002, mostly by [[free market|market-oriented]] members of the [[Radical Civic Union]], headed by [[Ricardo López Murphy]].

According to ''[[Página 12]]'', a [[progressivism|progressive]] newspaper, Recrear was a republican and honest [[right-wing]] and López Murphy's dream was to expand the historic ten percent that the Argentine right-wing reaches in elections.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/elpais/subnotas/51551-17288-2005-05-26.html|title=Página/12 :: El país :: Cómo llegaron hasta aquí}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/elpais/1-16464-2003-02-10.html|title = Página/12 :: El país :: El plan y los escuderos de la gran esperanza blanca del establishment}}</ref>

The Recrear Federal Movement is a national alliance formed in 2003 between Recrear itself and the Federal Movement of various provincial parties – the [[Salta Renewal Party]], the [[Democratic Progressive Party (Argentina)|Democratic Progressive Party]], the [[Democratic Party (Mendoza)|Democratic Party of Mendoza]], the Federal Party, the [[Liberal Party of Corrientes]], the [[Democratic Party of the City of Buenos Aires]], the Democratic Liberal Party of Córdoba, the [[Catamarca Popular Movement]], the Provincial Union of Entre Ríos, the Party of the Hope of the Province of Buenos Aires, the Independent Citizens of Tucumán and the Federal North of Jujuy. López Murphy as the movement's presidential candidate and [[Ricardo Gómez Diez]] of Salta for vice-president in the [[2003 Argentine elections|2003 elections]], ending in third place with 18%.

In 2005 the party formed an alliance with [[Buenos Aires]]' party [[Commitment to Change]] led by [[Mauricio Macri]]. The alliance has attempted to form a wide-ranging [[center-right]] front, especially with [[Neuquén Province|Neuquén]]'s party, the [[Neuquino People's Movement]] (''Movimiento Popular Neuquino'' - MPN), for the [[2005 Argentine elections|2005 parliamentary elections]]. Recrear and its allies won nine members of the [[Argentine Chamber of Deputies]], with those of some of Recrear's constituent provincial parties. López Murphy subsequently fell out with [[Jorge Sobisch]], leader of the MPN, and formally teamed up with Commitment to Change to form a new centre-right electoral front, [[Republican Proposal]] (PRO).<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.clarin.com/ediciones-anteriores/frente-macri-murphy-nombre-propuesta-republicana_0_r1WMWJukAKx.html|title=El frente de Macri y Murphy tiene nombre: Propuesta Republicana|author=Editorial|date=24 August 2005 |work= [[Clarín (Argentine newspaper)|Clarín]]}}</ref>

Following the election, López Murphy stood down from the leadership of the Party and in 2008, Congressman [[Esteban Bullrich]] was elected to replace him. Bullrich backed the ongoing alliance with Macri and PRO, whilst López Murphy had backed [[Castor López]], calling for the autonomy of the Party. In April 2008, López Murphy resigned from the Party and later set up another new party, {{ill|Convergencia Federal|es}} which has pursued closer ties with the [[Civic Coalition (Argentina)|Civic Coalition]].

In August 2009, the party was finally absorbed by the [[Republican Proposal]].

Recrear had observer status within both the [[Liberal International]], and the conservative [[Union of Latin American Parties]].

In August 2020, more than a decade after Recrear was dissolved, López Murphy refounded the party for the [[2021 Argentine legislative election]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://pablorossi.cienradios.com/ricardo-lopez-murphy-relanza-recrear-defender-libertad-todos-sus-campos/|title = Ricardo López Murphy relanza Recrear para "defender la libertad en todos sus campos"|date = 26 August 2020}}</ref> In November, Recrear, along with the Libertarian Party of Argentina, Mejorar, and Unidos, formed the Republicanos Unidos alliance.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.infobae.com/politica/2020/11/10/republicanos-unidos-el-nuevo-frente-liberal-que-reunio-a-lopez-murphy-loperfido-y-boggiano/|title=Republicanos Unidos, el nuevo frente liberal que reunió a López Murphy, Lopérfido y Boggiano|date=10 November 2020 }}</ref> They have considered allying themselves with libertarian economist [[José Luis Espert]] for the legislative election.
