GALLO, Ariadna y DIAZ ESTERIO, Rodrigo. Open Presidential Primary Elections in Apruebo Dignidad Coalition in Chile 2021. Unresolved Tensions between the Institutionalization of the Outbreak and the Citizenship Repoliticization. Estud. Polit. [online]. 2023, n.68, pp.54-83. Epub 11-Dic-2023. ISSN 0121-5167. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.espo.n68a03.
This article analyzes the presidential open primary process in Apruebo Dignidad, a broad and heterogeneous center-left coalition of recent creation in Chile, composed of Frente Amplio and Chile Digno, which converged from the Estallido Social of 2019. Open primaries are analyzed in their double function, as a nomination mechanism and as an electoral rule. The implementation of primaries in a new coalition, held after the drastic changes in the composition and physiognomy of the societal base, is addressed, using the categories applied in the literature on the subject for the analysis of events of this nature. It is concluded that the application of electoral rules designed in political contexts completely different from those in which they are effectively implemented produces certain effects not considered in the academic analysis or in the public debate. At the same time, the -voluntary- subjection of a new emerging political force to a regulation that is alien to its operating logic may generate consequences not foreseen by the actors who resort to it.
