New Social Pact ({{langx|es|Nuevo Pacto Social}} {{IPA|es|ˈnweβo ˈpaɣto soˈsjal|}}, NPS) was a Chilean centre to centre-left political coalition established on 23 August 2021 in order to participate in the presidential and parliamentary elections of that year. This pact is made up of the parties for Democracy (PPD), Radical (PR), Socialist (PS), Christian Democratic (PDC), Citizens (CIU), Liberal (PL) and the platforms New Deal and New Chile.
After the 2021 election the PDC left the coalition due to conflicting views on joining Gabriel Boric's government, after which the coalition disbanded and most parties went on to form the Democratic Socialism alliance.{{cite web|url=https://www.latercera.com/politica/noticia/socialismo-democratico-prepara-conclave-para-reeditar-su-proyecto-y-trazar-colaboracion-ante-gobierno-de-boric/4DRQM4LXJRFE5B6UD5RUF55T44/|title="Socialismo democrático" prepara cónclave para "reeditar" su proyecto y trazar colaboración ante gobierno de Boric|author=La Tercera|date=21 January 2022|accessdate=21 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211223005311/https://www.latercera.com/politica/noticia/socialismo-democratico-prepara-conclave-para-reeditar-su-proyecto-y-trazar-colaboracion-ante-gobierno-de-boric/4DRQM4LXJRFE5B6UD5RUF55T44/|archivedate=2021-12-23}}{{cite web|url=https://www.cnnchile.com/lodijeronencnn/joanna-perez-diputada-vicepresidenta-relacion-futuro-gobierno_20211222/|title=Vicepresidenta de la DC: "Si debemos revisar a la relación con el gobierno de Gabriel Boric, lo vamos a revisar"|author=CNN Chile|date=22 December 2021|accessdate=21 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211223042017/https://www.cnnchile.com/lodijeronencnn/joanna-perez-diputada-vicepresidenta-relacion-futuro-gobierno_20211222/|archivedate=2021-12-23}}
History
The parties For Democracy, Radical, Socialist, Christian Democrats and Citizens formed together with the Progressive Party (PRO) and in alliance with the Liberal Party and the political platform New Deal the electoral pact called Constituent Unity, an instance that is still in force for the elections regional councilors by 2021.
