Social Convergence (Spanish: Convergencia Social, CS) is a Chilean left-wing political party, founded in 2018 by the Autonomist Movement (MA), Libertarian Left (IL), Socialism and Freedom (SOL) and New Democracy (ND). It is part of the leftist coalition Broad Front.[6]
In mid-2019, members of the movement began their process to register as a legally constituted political party.[10] In November 2019, the Libertarian Left movement and hundreds of militants decided to resign from the party, rejecting the participation of deputy Gabriel Boric in a political agreement for a constitutional plebiscite that emerged after the protests on October 18.[11][12][13]
