| abstract | - The Popular Front (also known as the Frente Popular) is a coalition of the CN left wing members put forward by the nation of Cataduanes. The initial plan was to create a new force in CNverse by uniting the various Left wing alliances however after some discussions the PF began to be formed with the idea of cultivating links between the left via the medium of dialogue, with the PF providing a neutral venue in which any future talks could be held. Since then, the PF has been at times referred to as "the UN of the revolutionary left." So far parties of individual delegates from the LSF, ICSN, ICP and the ODN have worked together to create a proposed charter for the organization. In August 2006, as a result of intensive talks between the ICP and ICSN at the PF (as well as private initiatives by the respective members and alliances), as mediated by Cataduanes and Messiah, the two alliances merged into one, to be known as the ICP. The success of the talks was seen as a major step forward towards creating cohesive leftist unity in the CNverse, and the PF was hailed as being instrumental to this grand project.
