It was created on August 3, 2013[1] and registered officially with the Electoral Service on August 19.
The main objective of the coalition, as the name says, is to create a new Constitution of the Republic of Chile by performing a constituent assembly.[2] While the pact exists as such in the parliamentary elections and regional advisors, in the presidential election each party will support a candidate separately: Roxana Miranda by Equality Party and Alfredo Sfeir by the Green Ecologist Party.[3]
The coalition had nine candidates for the Senate elections, forty-nine candidates for the elections to the Chamber of Deputies,[4] and seventy-seven candidates for regional councils.[5] One regional councillor was elected.
