The Broad Front was formed as a result of the merger of left-wing political parties that aimed to change the political situation of Chile in favor of participative democracy and feminism.[11][12]
Some reports consider their ideology close to populism[13][14][15] due to the fact that the coalition was built off of existing popular movements (such as the 2011 student movement).[16][17][18]
Although it has the same name as the center-left coalition from Uruguay, political analysts tend to see the Broad Front as more similar to the Spanish left-wing populist party Podemos.[19] 2017 presidential primary candidate Alberto Mayol highlighted the fact that a clear "leftist tradition" exists in most of the coalition members.[20]

On March 11, 2022, the FA became part of the ruling alliance, with Gabriel Boric as the president. The first cabinet of ministers appointed by President Boric had a large presence of the bloc in eight portfolios, among them the General Secretariat of the Presidency, with Giorgio Jackson (RD); and in Women and Gender Equity, with Antonia Orellana (CS), both belonging to La Moneda's political committee.[22]
On October 5, 2023, the Broad Front began the process of merging its member parties to form a single political collective.[23] RD and CS called for a referendum on March 9 and 10, where the members were consulted on their approval or rejection of the merger. A little more than 10 thousand people participated in the process, 16% of the militancy of the two formations registered to the electoral service, and voted in favor of the merger by more than 80%.[24][25] Comunes did not participate in the consultation due to the dissolution process it was facing at that time before the Court of Appeals. With the merger, the single party of the FA will be the group with the most members in Chile, with 62 thousand registered people.[26]
The deed of incorporation of the merger of CS and RD was signed on 19 April 2024, and on May 13 of the same year, Servel ordered the publication of the extract of said document, initiating the formal process of creation of the new party. On July 1, Servel confirmed the merger between CS and RD and the constitution of the new Broad Front party.[27]
