Lista Apruebo Dignidad is a Chilean electoral coalition formed to contest constituent and parliamentary contests during the early 2020s, bringing together multiple leftist and progressive organizations to advance a new constitutional project. The alliance sought to coordinate campaigns across municipal, regional, and national contests, combining social movement networks, political parties, and activist organizations to contest the legacy of previous administrations and shape the constitutional process.
The coalition emerged in the aftermath of the 2019–2020 Chilean protests and the 2020 national plebiscite, with formations and dialogues involving actors associated with Broad Front (Chile), Communist Party of Chile, Socialist Party of Chile, Revolutionary Left Movement (Chile), Christian Democracy (Chile) critics, and groups linked to the Mapuche conflict and student movements. Key antecedents included negotiations among members of Frente Amplio (Chile), Partido Comunista de Chile, and various regional lists such as alliances comparable to Unidad Constituyente and electoral experiences from the 2017 Chilean general election and the 2013 Chilean general election. The coalition organized joint candidacies for the 2021 Chilean Constitutional Convention election and coordinated with municipal campaigns tied to figures from Santiago (commune), Valparaíso, and other regional centers, while interacting with institutions like the Electoral Service (Chile) and responding to rulings from the Supreme Court of Chile.
Lista Apruebo Dignidad positioned itself within left-wing and progressive traditions, aligning with policies similar to those advocated by Pablo Iglesias Turrión-influenced formations in Spain and Latin American leftist currents such as those personified by Evo Morales, Gustavo Petro, and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Its platform emphasized social rights articulated in proposals resembling initiatives from the United Nations human rights frameworks and policy debates found in the Constitution of Chile (1980) replacement discussions. The coalition proposed measures related to public health models informed by the World Health Organization, pension reforms echoing debates tied to the Chilean pension system, environmental protections in line with commitments under the Paris Agreement, and indigenous rights referencing protocols like the International Labour Organization Convention 169. Policy proposals often intersected with campaigns for tax reform influenced by arguments advanced in forums such as the International Monetary Fund and critiques of neoliberal frameworks associated with the Chicago Boys.
The alliance operated as a federation of parties, movements, and independent candidacies, coordinating through joint commissions and electoral lists akin to the organizational arrangements used by Podemos (Spanish party), Movimiento al Socialismo (Bolivia), and other Latin American coalitions. Member parties negotiated candidate lists through internal mechanisms comparable to primaries used by Partido de los Trabajadores (Brazil) and consultative assemblies resembling deliberations seen in the Zapatista Army of National Liberation-linked communities. Regional branches were centered in urban nodes including Santiago, Concepción, Chile, La Serena, and Antofagasta, and liaised with civil society organizations like Central Unitaria de Trabajadores, student federations such as the Confederation of Chilean Students, and indigenous organizations involved in the Mapuche conflict.
Electoral results for the coalition were shaped by campaigns during the 2021 Chilean parliamentary election, the 2021 Chilean Constitutional Council election cycle, and municipal ballots in cities like Santiago (commune), Valparaíso, and Viña del Mar. Performance metrics reflected seat gains and losses in the Chamber of Deputies of Chile and the Senate of Chile, with vote shares compared against those of Chile Vamos and Nueva Mayoría. The coalition’s electoral strategy interacted with proportional representation mechanisms under the D'Hondt method used in Chilean legislative elections and was influenced by turnout patterns recorded by the Electoral Service (Chile) in referendums and plebiscites such as the 2020 Chilean national plebiscite.
Prominent personalities associated with the coalition included leaders and candidates who had profiles in national debates, often overlapping with figures known from Frente Amplio (Chile), Communist Party of Chile, and regional movements. Names involved in campaigns and public representation had prior roles in institutions like the Chilean Constitutional Convention, municipal governments, and student leadership bodies connected to the University of Chile and the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. Several candidates had backgrounds in labor activism tied to unions such as Central Unitaria de Trabajadores and had engaged with human rights cases documented by organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
The coalition faced critiques from opponents including conservative blocs like Republican Party (Chile) and centrist groupings such as Democratic Revolution former allies, focusing on debates over economic policy inspired by critiques of neoliberalism and disagreements over approaches to the Constitution of Chile (1980) replacement. Internal disputes mirrored tensions seen in other leftist coalitions, with disagreements over candidate selection, tactical alliances reminiscent of splits within Frente Amplio (Chile), and clashes involving local leaders in regions like Magallanes Region and Araucanía Region where indigenous rights and resource debates intensified. External criticism included conservative media outlets, legal challenges processed through the Electoral Service (Chile), and analyses by academics affiliated with institutions such as Pontifical Catholic University of Chile and University of Santiago, Chile.
