Background

(Unión Democrata Independiente, UDI) is a Chilean right-wing, conservative political party, founded in 1983. Its main inspirer was the lawyer, politician and law professor Jaime Guzmán, a civilian Augusto Pinochet's collaborator, and a senator from 1990 until his assassination on April 1, 1991.

Its ideological origins date back to the Jaime Guzmán's Guildist Movement, born in the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile in 1966, espousing the independence and depoliticization of intermediate bodies of civil society.
