The Democrats (es|Demócratas; D) is a Chilean political party founded in 2022 by former militants of the Christian Democratic Party, Party for Democracy and Radical Party, all former members from the defunct Concertación coalition.[1]
Its founders were senators Ximena Rincón and Matías Walker, as well as former presidential candidate Carlos Maldonado Curti.[2] Most party members supported the «Reject» option in the 2022 constitutional plebiscite forming the Center-left for Reject movement (Centroizquerda por el Rechazo).[3]
Democrats began their legalization procedures on November 4, 2022.[4]
The movement defined itself as "centrist", although it acknowledged that it has center-left and center-right tendencies.[5]
Democrats identified itself as a Christian democratic, humanist, pluralist, reformist, non-denominational, and regionalist party.[2] They also see themselves as defenders of the legacy of the defunct Concertación coalition.[6]
