The political alliance was created as a coordination group of the social-democratic and center-left parties after the dissolution of the New Majority coalition, which was defeated in the 2017 general election.[2]

The group seeks to dialogue with other parties and coalitions such as the Communist Party and the Broad Front to oppose Chile Vamos.[3]
