The Chilean Socialist Party (Partido Socialista de Chile) is a political party in Chile founded in 1933. It advocates for socialism and social justice, aiming to address economic inequality and promote workers' rights. The party has played a significant role in Chilean politics, especially during the presidency of Salvador Allende in the early 1970s. After the military coup in 1973, which overthrew Allende, the party faced repression and was forced underground. In the years following the return to democracy in 1990, the Chilean Socialist Party re-emerged as a key player in the political landscape, participating in various coalitions and government administrations.
