Constituent Unity (Spanish:Unidad Constituyente[uniˈða(ð)konstituˈʝente],UC) was apolitical alliance inChile. It included the former members of theConcentration of Parties for Democracy (theChristian Democratic Party,Radical Party,Socialist Party, andParty for Democracy), plus theProgressive Party andCitizens.
This alliance was created in light of themunicipal,regional andConstitutional Convention elections, held in May 2021. For the municipal elections, the alliance ran as two lists: Unity for the Approval (including the former members of Progressive Convergence: PS, PPD and PR) and Unity for Dignity (PDC, PRO and Citizens).[1]
Due to its previous participation as a member of theBroad Front in the primaries for the municipal and regional election, theliberal party and thenew deal movement couldn't participate as members of Constituent Unity in those elections. However, they joined Constituent Unity for the election of members for the Constitutional Convention under the nameLista del Apruebo (List of Approval).[2]
On August 23, the last day to formalize the pacts and register candidacies for thegeneral election, theProgressive Party was excluded from the candidacy pact due to the registration of the presidential candidacy ofMarco Enríquez-Ominami; due to this, the other parties of the Constituent Unity registered the list called "New Social Pact".[3][4][5]
