As Senator and Vice-President of the Socialist Party of Chile I Would Like to Express My Solidarity with You and Your Family in These Ungrateful Days of Detention Santiago Chile, 4 February 2021. Dear Efraín: As Senator and Vice-President of the Socialist Party of Chile I would like to express my solidarity with you and your family in these ungrateful days of detention. I share the common statement of the whole Paraguayan opposition in your goodwill, and even of other parties that are not coalition members, and of course, the warmth and solidarity in all Latin-American political parties and countries, and also by democrats internationally recognized. We are part of those who, like you, have fought for truth, justice and human rights. For this reason, we understand your faithful condemnation of the close relationship between organized crime and politics, as well as the way in which some justice systems in the region are involved. We know all of these means impunity by criminal organizations and increase their power in politics, and on the other hand, to harshly persecute those who face this situation. We know that you have been accused with minimum evidence. Also we are proud that you voluntarily cooperate with the Paraguayan justice system is the right way, because you have nothing to hide, and that the accusation was cleared up in due time. Likewise, we are fully aware that candidates by the President of the Republic, according to the national law, do not deal with administrative matters in electoral campaigns. We trust the strong international support and the observation by the global community will lead to a thorough and quick weighing of all the available background information. We hope that the truth will triumph and that you can overcome this bitter moment, demonstrating your total innocence, in the briefest time. With all my socialist fraternity, Isabel Allende Bussi Chilean Senator Vice-President of the Socialist Chilean Party (PS) .

In this paper, we analyze the influence of the political profile of candidates (characterized by personal and political features) and their campaign effort (characterized by electoral expenditure and by territorial deployment strategies Citation: Campos-Valdés, C.; retrieved from social networks activity) on the electoral results. This analysis is carried out by Álvarez-Miranda, E.; Morales using three of the most frequent data analyitcs algorithms in the literature. For our analysis, we Quiroga, M.; Pereira, J.; consider the 2017 Parliamentary elections in Chile, which are the first elections after a major reform Liberona Durán, F.

The following list documents all the parties, candidates and elections contained in the dataset. The list includes the name of the party or (candidate) alliance in the original language and in English, the party/alliance abbreviation, the name of the presidential candidate (if this applies) as well as the corresponding party identification number. In the case of an alliance, it also documents the member parties it comprises. Within the list of alliance members, parties are represented only by their id and abbreviation if they are also part of the general party list. If the composition of an alliance has changed between elections this change is reported as well. If parliamentary and presidential elections occur at roughly the same time (not necessarily on the same date but within a time frame of one or two months) parties and candidates usually run on the same manifesto. In these cases we report the party/alliance that backed a candidate and the candidate’s name. The same information is provided for presidential elections. If a parliamentary election occurred independently from a presidential election we only report parties and alliances but no candidates. Furthermore, the list records renames of parties and alliances.

  • Briefing European Parliamentary Research Service
    At a glance April 2015 Chile: political parties The political party system in Chile developed from fierce competition between three distinct blocs along a wide right-centre-left spectrum before the military coup of 1973, to a narrower two-bloc political spectrum (centre-right to centre-left) after 1990, mainly due to the establishment of a binomial election system by General Augusto Pinochet, originally to guarantee his power base. Background From 1958 until the collapse of democracy in 1973, Chile's political party system was based on a competitive dynamic between three ideological blocs along a wide right-centre-left spectrum. The right-wing Liberal and Conservative parties were first founded over a century ago, and dominated prior to the 1965 parliamentary elections. After the poor results of that year, they merged, becoming the National Party (1966-1994). The Christian Democratic and Radical parties held the Chilean political centre, and the Socialist and Communist parties took up the left side of the spectrum. The Radical Party, which dates back to 1861, allied itself with the Communists and Socialists in the Popular Unity coalition which won the Presidency for Salvador Allende in 1970. Following the Pinochet dictatorship (1973-1990), the system has shown a new pattern of unequal, bipolar competition between two large coalition blocs along a reduced left-right spectrum, behaving like a two-party system (currently New Majority on the centre-left and Alliance on the centre-right). This is mainly due to the binomial system introduced by General Pinochet, and helps to explain the current stability of the Chilean political system.

Acronyms B. Spanish phrases, names or words C. Presidential Elections. Results of 1952, 1958, 1964, 1970 in Chile. IHTRODUCTION Between the years 1804 and 1825, all of the present independent Latin Anerican countries were established, except three. The Domin- ican Republic, gained independence from Spain in 1848, Cuba in 1902 and Panama was established out of present-day Colombia in 1903.1 Democratic socialist parties, that is, parties that have been ideologically (to various degrees) closely aligned with the parties of the so-called second, or socialist, international, have existed in many of the Latin American countries. The older ones date from the last decades of the 19th century. With one or two exceptions, the democratic socialist parties have not developed into major parties. Furthermore, in recent decades the group as a whole has tended to decline in importance, some of the parties disappearing altogether and others undergoing damaging schisms. Most have lost influence in the labor movement and other groups in which they were formerly important. The socialists have usually considered them- selves Marxists and parties of the left and have frequently found the competition of the Communists to be embarrassing.

  • Pink Tide: the Struggle of Venezuela and Bolivia for Social Sustainability
    Pink Tide: The Struggle of Venezuela and Bolivia for Social Sustainability Imelda Masni Juniaty Sianipar1, Arthur Jefferson Maya2 {[email protected]; [email protected]} Department of International Relations and Center for Social Justice and Global Responsibility (CSJGR)LPPM – Universitas Kristen Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia Abstract. Since Latin America's transition to neoliberalism in the 1980s, the state has been directed to support privatization and implement structural adjustment to integrate the national economy into the global market. The neoliberal model dominated Latin America for a decade, but in the late 1990s, the community support to neoliberal platform declined due to the increase of social inequality and poverty of the middle class, working-class and indigenous population. Resistance starts in Venezuela then spread to Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador and other Latin American countries known as the "Pink Tide". In the pink tide framework, countries are directed to redistribute the state wealth to low-income families so that the sustainability of society can be maintained. Governments implements such kind of policy is categorized as state left. Keywords: Pink tide, Venezuela, Bolivia, Social Sustainability, State Left 1 Introduction Pink tide is a unique phenomenon in Latin America. This term appeared in the New York Times article, 2005 written by a journalist named Larry Rohter, to describe the general election in Uruguay that won the President from the left, and was a sign of a left turn in Latin America. Three-quarters of Latin America's population has been under a leftist government that has succeeded in coming to power since 1998.
