Amarillos por Chile (lit. 'Yellows for Chile'), sometimes written Amarillos x Chile (AxCh), is a Chilean political movement and party founded by Cristián Warnken in 2022, which brings together personalities from the country such as businessmen, former parliamentarians and former politicians from the defunct Concertación coalition, especially from the PPD and PDC. The collective emerged as a criticism of certain proposals of the Constitutional Convention that the movement considered, in its words, as "refoundational".[4][5]

History

Amarillos por Chile arose from columns and letters that Warnken wrote in the radio station Pauta and in the newspaper El Mercurio. One was called Yellow letter to my children, it was published on 27 November 2021, and in it he talks about an episode that he lived in Isla Negra, when a group of young people yelled "amarillo" and "facho" at him. He took the "amarillo" concept from the 1970s, when it was used by leftists to disqualify moderate politics and social democracy.[6][A] In the 1980s it was applied by leftists to those who supported a peaceful transition to democracy rather than the overthrow of Pinochet's dictatorship.[6] In the 2000s it was used for "pro-market" politics.[6] The Christian Democratic Party have long been reviled as "amarillo" by Chilean leftists.[6]

The term had been updated by Patricio Fernández Chadwick, who published a column in The Clinic fortnightly on 26 July 2018.[7] Warnken published the Letter Letter to all the yellow bases in the country in Pauta on 6 February 2022, which triggered the founding of the movement.[8]

On 23 September 2022, the founding manifesto of Amarillos por Chile as a political party was presented, along with presenting its provisional directive.[9] In the same way, the first 100 militants were presented, who were mainly ex-militants and ex-politicians of the Party for Democracy and Christian Democratic Party.[9] On 21 October 2022, the Electoral Service (Servel) declared the community as "in formation".[10]

Notes

  1. ^ Reportedly the political use of term can be traced to syndicalist politics of early 20th-century France.[6]
