The Republican Party or Republican Right (Spanish : Partido Republicano/Derecha Republicana) —also known as Republican Democratic Right (Spanish : Derecha Democrática Republicana)— [1] was a Chilean centre-right political party existing from 1982 to 1987 during the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.

Its origins date back to late October 1982, when a group of politicians from the National Party founded the Center for Analysis of National and International Reality. His goal was to provide a basis for the formation of a right-wing democratic party, inspired by modern liberalism and respectful of human rights. This would give rise to a party whose name would be Republican Right, led by the ex-conservative Julio Subercaseaux and ex-liberals Hugo Zepeda Barrios and Armando Jaramillo Lyon. [2]

The party was among the founding members of the Democratic Alliance on August 6, 1983, having previously signed the Democratic Manifesto of March 14 of that year. [3] In October 1984, it changed its name to the Republican Party after entry of the Liberal Party to the coalition. Both merged in 1987 to form the Liberal-Republican Union. [4]
