I could see two different variations of the party flag, one with the symbol filled in black and the other with the symbol in white with a thick black fimbriation and with a slightly different shape, both centered on plain orange fields.

Speculating a bit on the symbol, it could refer to the math symbol of infinity, also present in other flags. It is also international: in Portugal an Humanist party is under way (or already created and legalized, I don’t know), and their leadership gave a press conference a while ago where the flag was seen.

This party popped up in Denmark in 1987, and stood at the general election that year. They only got some 5600 votes, got nobody elected, and died (more or less). I recall the infinity symbol. They used the letter "H" more than the symbol, but that is a part of the Danish electoral system: each party has a letter (as long as less than 30 parties stand), and that is what get most of the parties’ hype — for obvious reasons.

Partido Justicialista has its roots in Juan Domingo Perón, back in 1940s.

UCR is a party with more than 100 years (with evolution in his own name).

Frente País Solidario (FREPASO), has just appeared ca. 1990 after some (very few) Justicialistas were dissapointed with then President Menem’s neoliberal politics. FREPASO used to be an emergent 3rd position party that came to ally with the 2nd force (UCR) some time ago to overthrow the ruling Partido Justicialista. Wich they did for presidential elections and in some provinces. I don’t recall exactly right now, but FREPASO's flag (or rather logo) is a yellow “sun”, resembling a five fingers hand, over a dark blue field. One motto was «Otro país es posible» = «A different country is possible».
