Concertación de Partidos por la Democracia

The Concertación de Partidos por la Democracia was a political coalition in Chile formed in 1988, consisting of various center-left and leftist parties. Its purpose was to oppose the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet and promote the transition to democracy. Over time, it became the primary political alliance supporting democratic reforms, sustainable development, and social justice. The coalition played a key role in Chile’s return to civilian rule and governed the country through multiple administrations until it evolved into other political groupings. Its efforts significantly shaped Chile's democratic landscape and political evolution in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
