^ A: The party has also been described as centre-right to right-wing. | |
The Party of the People (Spanish: Partido de la Gente, PDG) is a Chilean political party, primarily described as populist of the syncretic kind, due to its indifference to the left–right political spectrum, although it has also been variously considered as right-wing populist. It was created at the end of 2019, being legalized by the Electoral Service on July 26, 2021. It is led by 2013, 2021 and 2025 presidential candidate Franco Parisi, and by the founder of "Felices y Forrados" Gino Lorenzini.
At the time of its legalization in July 2021, the party had about 43,000 members, the second largest number of members of any party in Chile after the Communist Party. Among its adherents is the conventional constituent-elect Rodrigo Logan of district 9.
