Broad Front (Chilean political party)

The Broad Front (Spanish: Frente Amplio, FA) is a Chilean left-wing political party and founded in 2024 as a result of the merger of the former coalition of the same name.

[16][17][18] Although it has the same name as the center-left coalition from Uruguay, political analysts tend to see the Broad Front as more similar to the Spanish left-wing populist party Podemos.

[19] 2017 presidential primary candidate Alberto Mayol highlighted the fact that a clear "leftist tradition" exists in most of the coalition members.

[22] On October 5, 2023, the Broad Front began the process of merging its member parties to form a single political collective.

[26] The deed of incorporation of the merger of CS and RD was signed on 19 April 2024, and on May 13 of the same year, Servel ordered the publication of the extract of said document, initiating the formal process of creation of the new party.
