FRAP (Chile)

FRAP (Chile)

The FRAP (Spanish: "Frente de Acción Popular", Front for Popular Action) was a Chilean left-wing coalition of parties from 1956 to 1969. It presented twice a common candidate, Salvador Allende, for the 1958 and the 1964 presidential elections. Succeeding to the FRENAP formed the preceding year, the FRAP itself was succeeded by the Popular Unity coalition.

Composition of the coalition

The FRAP succeeded to the FRENAP ("Frente Nacional del Pueblo", People's National Front), formed the following year by a coalition of the Socialist Party (PS) and the Communist Party (PCC). The new coalition, created on February 28, 1956, as a platform of movements struggling for an "anti-imperialist, anti-oligarch and anti-feudal program." Apart of the Socialist and the Communist parties, the FRAP included: the Popular Socialist Party (until its merger in 1957 with the PS; the People's Democratic Party ("Partido Demócrático del Pueblo"), which merged in 1960 with the PS to form the PADENA (which in turn withdrew itself from the FRAP coalition in 1965); the "Vanguardia Nacional del Pueblo" (National Vanguard of the People), which had been created in 1958 from a merger of minor groups such as the Labour Party (1953) and others; and the Social Democracy, founded in 1965.

Strategy

Despite their alliances, tensions separated the Socialists and the Communists. For the first one, the coalition was a "Labour Front", formed exclusively of working classes' parties struggling to defend their interests, while for the latter, it was rather a "National Liberation Front," that is a legal means to accede to power through elections, in alliance with "bourgeois parties" such as the Radical Party and the Christian Democrat Party who would united in a common national emancipation program and social and political democratization program.
