The Christian Social Party (PSC; Template:Lang-es) is a Chilean political party founded in September 2022.[1] It was formed by independent leaders and ex-militants of the defunct Christian Conservative Party (PCC).[2]
History
The community arose after the dissolution of the PCC, a group that during the 2021 parliamentary elections achieved the election of Sara Concha as deputy for the Ñuble Region under the Christian Social Front pact.[2] Among its founders were Luciano Silva, a former National Renewal (RN) conventioneer, and Antaris Varela, who presided over the PCC.[3]
Like its predecessor, the PSC is linked to evangelical and conservative church groups.[4]
In November 2022, the community began its formation and constitution process before the Electoral Service (Servel).[5] During that same month, the incorporation of Deputy Concha was confirmed, who until then was independent and a member of the RN bench in the Chamber of Deputies.[6]
Leadership
The Christian Social Party presented a provisional directive for its formation process as a political party, which is made up of:[5]
- President: Ángel Roa.
- Secretary: Belén Núñez.
- Vice President: Geraldine Aravena.
- Adviser: Juan Carlos Venegas.
- Public relations officer: Carolina Barría.
- Treasurer: Eduardo Canto.
In the same way, it presented a Supreme Court made up of a president, a vice president, a secretary and three members.[5]
