Citizen Power (Poder Ciudadano) was a Chilean left-wing political party, founded in 2015. It was created by former supporters of Michelle Bachelet, Marcel Claude, Franco Parisi and Alfredo Sfeir, who were presidential candidates in the 2013 elections. [2]

In 2017, the party joined a new leftist coalition called Broad Front, which competed in the presidential and parliamentary elections that year. [3]
