The Government Alliance (Spanish: Alianza de Gobierno) is the name given to the Chilean political coalition founded on 6 November 2022.[2] The coalition was formed after a meeting called by the President of the Republic, Gabriel Boric, held at the Palace of Cerro Castillo, where the presidents of the political parties, parliamentarians and authorities that are part of the government can summer.[3]
The coalition is made up of the member parties of the two coalitions that supported Boric's candidacy and entered his administration: Apruebo Dignidad and Democratic Socialism.[4] The alliance agreed to have a common and rotating spokesperson, the first spokeswoman for the coalition being the president of the Socialist Party, Paulina Vodanovic.
History
[edit]
In March 2021, the primary elections of the Apruebo Dignidad pact, a coalition made up of the Broad Front and Chile Digno, took place. The Broad Front candidate Gabriel Boric won the election, running as the sole candidate of Apruebo Dignidad in the first round of the presidential elections. As the result of this presidential election, he would participate in the runoff election.
After the defeat of the Christian Democrat candidate Yasna Provoste, the New Social Pact coalition formed that year for the elections, bringing together the parties from the Concertación and Nueva Mayoría. These parties had governed the country for 24 years previously. The New Social Pact supported the candidacy of Boric, the Apruebo Dignidad candidate, who won in the runoff.
After Boric's victory in the presidential elections, and given how the congress was composed after the parliamentary elections[5]—Apruebo Dignidad only managed to elect 37 of the 150 deputies and 5 of the 50 senators—Gabriel Boric included in the government the parties that made up the New Social Pact coalition, with the exception of the Christian Democratic Party. These parties would later adopt the nomination of Democratic Socialism.[citation needed]
The government of Gabriel Boric has been supported by these two political blocs (or “two souls”, as the local press has called them): Democratic Socialists and Apruebo Dignidad.[6] The difficult coexistence of both coalitions within the ruling party, added to the defeat of the option supported by the government in the plebiscite on 4 September. This gave rise to the political committee on 17 October 2022, calling an official conclave, with the purpose of analyzing the course that the government should take going forward.[7] The conclave took place on 6 November 2022 in the Presidential Palace of Cerro Castillo, where the leaders of the ruling parties met.[3] Since then, the coalition has met regularly to form an electoral and content committee,[8] and has replicated the first national conclave in various regions of the country.[9]
