The Front for Renewal of Order and Society (French reformed: Front pour l'renouvellement d'l'ordre et société) is an electoral bloc of far-right parties in Gylias. Formed in 1961, it is the main far-right electoral bloc in Gylias.

History

The bloc was formed in 1961, bringing together various far-right forces during the Golden Revolution. While initially it had overlap with the Conservative Coalition and drew some influence from Political Futurism, it gradually developed a Gylian-specific far-right profile, using a veneer of anarchism over a program of Gylicism, palingenetic ultranationalism, and opposition to both capitalism and communism.

During the 1960s–1970s, it was an isolated and negligible presence in Gylian politics, attracting hostility and marginalisation comparable to the Futurist Party of Alscia. It barely entered Parliament in the 1962 federal election, and was further weakened by ARENA, which siphoned off much of its audience and channeled it into a purely image-based party revolving around "androgynous strongwoman camp".

The bloc regularly came into conflict with Elections Gylias, which disqualified many of its candidates — including barring it from running in presidential elections — and banned its PPBs for discriminatory, hateful, or anti-constitutional content. Its composition fluctuated between 1961 and 1975 as several member parties were shut down for anti-constitutional activities, forcing them to be replaced by parties that sought to at least nominally remain within legal bounds.

The wretched decade saw the FROS' profile rise, aided by a charismatic leader and a backlash against the Revolutionary Rally. Pursuing a policy of moderating its extremist image and relying on "dog whistling" rhetoric, its support rose in elections. Its best showing was in the 1985 federal election, where it secured 20 deputies and 10 senators, causing alarm in Gylian society.

The Filomena Pinheiro government, formed after the Ossorian war crisis of 1986, cracked down on authoritarianism, both of the far-right FROS and far-left RR. FROS was subject to a media blackout and a campaign of relentless public humiliation and investigations, leading to most of its officeholders being recalled, removed from office, investigated, or convicted of various crimes and sentenced to dégradation civique or expulsion from the community in social quarantine areas.

The concerted crackdown and further public disgust from the dérive au droite and neoliberal conspiracy destroyed the FROS as a political force. It lost all its seats in the 1990 federal election, and has not held any office since. There have been proposals to shut down the bloc outright, but the Directorate for Protection of the Constitution has instead argued it is preferable to let it exist as a marginalised and easy-to-supervise remnant than disband it and risk another far-right force taking its place.
