Radical Democracy

Radical Democracy

The Radical Democracy ( _es. Democracia Radical), or DR, was a Chilean political party positioned right-of-centre. The party, created in 1969, was dissolved in 1973, to reappear in 1983 before disbanding permanently in 1990.

The party was composed of Radicals, opposed to the presidential candidacy of socialist Salvador Allende. It represented the anti-communist sector of the Radicals that separated themselves permanently from the Radical Party. The group was initially known as the Movement for Democratic Unity. It supported the presidential candidacy of independent right-winger Jorge Alessandri in 1970.

A firm opponent to Salvador Allende, Radical Democracy took part in the parliamentary elections of 1973 as part of the anti-Allende CODE coalition. The party supported the military coup of 1973, voluntarily complying with its own dissolution that same year. Among its most notable members were Julio Durán (presidential candidate for Radical Democracy in 1964), Domingo Duran, Ángel Faivovich, Julio Mercado, and Rafael Señoret.
