The FRAP (Spanish: Frente de Acción Popular, Popular Action Front) 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.[1] 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
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 Democrat
, founded in 1965.
Strategy
Despite their alliances, tensions separated the Socialists and the Communists. For the first one, the coalition was a "Workers' Front", formed exclusively of
Christian Democrat Party
who would united in a common national emancipation program and social and political democratization program.
