Lista del Pueblo Lista del Pueblo emerged as a Chilean electoral grouping linked to the 2019–2020 social mobilizations and the 2020 national plebiscite, drawing members connected to protests, indigenous movements, labor unions, student federations, and neighborhood assemblies. It gained prominence during the 2021 elections for the Constitutional Convention (Chile), assembling delegates with backgrounds in the Mapuche conflict, Maule Region activism, Valparaíso community organizing, and networks tied to personalities associated with the Estallido Social (Chile), Frente Amplio (Chile), Partido Comunista, and independent civic platforms.
Lista del Pueblo formed against the aftermath of the 2019 Chilean protests and the negotiations that led to the 2020 Chilean national plebiscite. Its origins trace to assemblies in Santiago, Concepción, Antofagasta, La Araucanía, Tarapacá and Biobío, where activists who had coordinated with figures from Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and local collectives debated candidacies. During registration for the 2021 Constitutional Convention elections Lista del Pueblo registered lists in multiple districts that competed with lists from Chile Vamos, Partido Socialista, Democracia Cristiana, and the Comunes party. In the months after the election, interactions occurred with leaders from Revolución Democrática, Movimiento Autonomista, and independent electors connected to Gabriel Boric supporters, while some delegates later engaged in negotiations related to the 2022 Chilean general election cycle.
The grouping articulated a platform emphasizing participatory processes informed by activists who had cooperated with Colectivo Violeta, Movimiento Salud en Resistencia, and community councils from Pudahuel and La Florida. Their proposals reflected influences from policy models debated in assemblies that included representatives from Plurinational Universidad de la Frontera, Universidad de Chile, Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, and Universidad de Concepción, and referenced instruments associated with the International Labour Organization and regional frameworks like the Montevideo Consensus. Lista del Pueblo campaigned on demands related to constitutional rights recognized in instruments such as the American Convention on Human Rights and dialogued with initiatives promoted by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and civil society groups like Fundación Nodo XXI and Movimiento por el Agua y los Territorios.
Membership included community leaders, activists, artisans and social leaders from municipalities such as Puente Alto, Recoleta, Iquique, and Rancagua; individuals previously active in the Asamblea Coordinadora de Estudiantes Secundarios, Central Unitaria de Trabajadores, and neighborhood assemblies tied to the Movimiento No+AFP campaign. Organizational decisions were made through assemblies influenced by participatory procedures similar to those used by Poder Ciudadano (Chile), Red de Intendentes, and indigenous councils in Temuco. Some members had professional links to institutions like Universidad Austral de Chile and NGOs such as Corporación Humanas and TECHO-Chile. Interaction occurred with trackers of international solidarity, including contacts to activists associated with Movimiento al Socialismo (Bolivia), Movimiento de los Trabajadores Rurales Sin Tierra, and activists from Argentina and Peru.
In the 2021 election for the Constitutional Convention Lista del Pueblo achieved a notable result, securing a number of seats that made it one of the largest nontraditional blocs, competing with blocs like the Lista del Apruebo, Movimientos Sociales Constituyentes, and representatives from Indigenous Mapuche representatives. Their performance contrasted with results for established parties such as Renovación Nacional, Unión Demócrata Independiente, and the Partido por la Democracia. Subsequent municipal and parliamentary contests saw fewer successes, with vote shares compared across districts including Santiago Metropolitan Region, O'Higgins Region, and Magallanes Region and juxtaposed against outcomes for candidates like Daniel Jadue, Beatriz Sánchez, and leaders from Convergencia Social.
The group faced scrutiny related to internal disputes, alleged irregularities in candidate vetting, and public statements that prompted responses from institutions such as the Servicio Electoral de Chile and commentators from media outlets including El Mercurio, La Tercera, The Clinic. Debates emerged involving interactions with personalities associated with Felipe Kast, Joaquín Lavín, and criticism from scholars at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and Universidad Diego Portales. Some delegates became focal points in controversies involving alleged misrepresentation, prompting inquiries by human rights observers and coverage in international outlets that referenced standards from the United Nations Human Rights Council and local ombudsperson offices like the Instituto Nacional de Derechos Humanos.
Despite a brief electoral lifespan, the grouping influenced discourse on citizen assemblies, participatory mechanisms, and the role of social movements in constitutional processes, impacting debates alongside actors such as Movilh, Comunidad de Organizaciones Solidarias, and academic centers like Centro de Estudios Públicos and FLACSO-Chile. Its delegates engaged in cross-actor dialogues with representatives from the Constitutional Convention (Chile), contributing to drafts debated by commissions including those chaired by figures connected to Alejandra Pérez, Carolina Tohá, and Helia Molina. The electoral experiment informed later conversations about independent candidacy rules, party reform proposals discussed in forums convened by Cámara de Diputadas y Diputados de Chile and influenced mobilizations leading into subsequent electoral cycles involving coalitions such as Apruebo Dignidad and Unidad Constituyente.
