Confederation of Democracy

The Confederation of Democracy (Spanish: Confederación de la Democracia, CODE) was an electoral alliance of center-right Chilean political parties formed in July 1972.

Its main purpose was to unite all the opposition parties of the Popular Unity government to face the parliamentary elections in March 1973.

Its main objective was to optimize the collection of votes and seats, and accomplish the majority of Congress and thus obtain at least two thirds of the deputies.

[2] His first action, albeit unofficial, was in the January 1972 by-elections at Colchagua and O'Higgins Provinces and Linares Department, in which the CODE defeated the UP and gained a senator and a deputy.

This coalition was formed by two federations of parties, both also constituted on 6 July 1972: The Confederation of Democracy was legalized by the Direction of the Electoral Register on October 6, 1972.
