Chile Democrático

Chile Democrático ("Democratic Chile") was an organization of Chilean exiles around the world, established in Rome in 1973.[1] Chile Democrático was one of two organizations which the Swedish Immigration Department recognized as a national organization of the Chilean community (the other being the Chilean National Union). The Swedish authorities had, however, advocated that the two national organizations merge into one, a suggestion that could not materialize due to political differences between the two bodies.[2] Chile Democrático had branches in around 80 countries, including Australia, France, Mexico and Sweden.[3]

Chile Democrático joined the People's Democratic Movement (MDP), a movement based inside Chile. With the formation of the United Left (IU), the importance of MDP waned and Chile Democrático was dissolved.[4]
