Citizen Force (Spanish:Fuerza Ciudadana) was ademocratic socialist andprogressivepolitical party fromPeru. Founded in October 2019, the party was institutionalized out of the union of theDecentralist Social Force and Citizens for Change. In 2022, it merged intoFirst The People – Community, Ecology, Liberty, and Progress.
Formally announced following thedissolution of the Congress of the Republic of Peru, the party participated in theTogether for Peru coalition for the2020 parliamentary election. Upon the election's poor results as no seats were won, the party left the coalition, and filed for official registration at the National Jury of Elections.
The registration was ultimately unsuccessful, as the party was not going to reach the deadline in order to fully participate as a recognized organization at the2021 general election. Days before the deadline, the party signed a political accord with the registeredPurple Party in order to run together for the upcoming election.[1] Among its members, LGBT activistSusel Paredes registered in the Purple Party and was selected to lead the congressional list for the constituency ofLima.[2][3] Paredes was ultimately elected Congresswoman for Lima.[4][5]
