The party País is a leftist political party in Chile founded by Alejandro Navarro, a Senator formerly a member of the MAS Region party, supporting his candidacy for President in 2017.[1]
Pais Party was presented in Santiago on September 3, 2016; on the 10th of the same month it was founded in the city of Concepción.[2]
One of its founders was Chilean senator Alejandro Navarro.[3]
Among the party´s proposals are the elimination of the Chilean pensions system sistema de AFP as well as to achieve free education at all levels.[4]
On the 22nd of May 2017 the party delivered 8,500 signatures of new members from 6 different regions to the Central Electoral Board Servicio Electoral in order to legalise the party on those areas; at the same time, it was announced that Alejandro Navarro would run in the presidential race.[5]
Because of some issues with one of the regions, the party was finally legalised in 5 zones: Región de Tarapacá, Antofagasta, Maule, Biobío and Araucanía.[6]
After their first General Assembly on the 6th of August 2017, Alejandro Navarro´s presidential candidacy was confirmed and legalised and the candidates for Parliament and Local Governments were announced.[7] The new leadership of the party was also ratified.[8]
