Democrat Party (Chile)

The Democrat Party (Partido Demócrata) of Chile was a Chilean political party created by a left-wing faction of the Radical Party in 1887. It was created to protect the working and middle class, but over the years it became a traditional political movement, with factions of center-right and center-left.
