Citizen Power (Poder Ciudadano) was a Chilean left-wing political party, founded in 2015. It was created by former supporters of Michelle Bachelet, Marcel Claude, Franco Parisi and Alfredo Sfeir, who were presidential candidates for the 2013 elections.[2]
In 2017, the party joined a new leftist coalition called Broad Front, which competed in the presidential and parliamentary elections that year.[3]
On September 27, 2018, Autonomous Left merged with Poder Ciudadano, the latter saying via Twitter to "...create a new party of feminist, popular and democratic left..."[4] The new party was called Commons.
