The Christian Social Party (PSC; Spanish: Partido Social Cristiano) is a Chilean political party founded in September 2022.[2] It was formed by independent leaders and ex-militants of the defunct Christian Conservative Party (PCC).[3]
History
[edit]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.[3] Among its founders were Luciano Silva, a former National Renewal (RN) conventioneer, and Antaris Varela, who presided over the PCC.[4] Ángel Roa served as party leader from September 2022 to May 2023.
Like its predecessor, the PSC is linked to evangelical and conservative church groups.[5]
In November 2022, the community began its formation and constitution process before the Electoral Service (Servel).[6] 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.[7]
Leadership
[edit]The Christian Social Party presented a provisional directive for its formation process as a political party, which is made up of:[6]
- President: Sara Concha.
- Secretary: Antaris Varela.
- Vice President: Héctor Muñoz.
- Advisor: Juan Carlos Venegas.
- Public relations officer: Luciano Silva.
- Treasurer: Belén Núñez.
In the same way, it presented a Supreme Court made up of a president, a vice president, a secretary and three members.[6]
