Amarillos por Chile


Amarillos por Chile, sometimes written Amarillos x Chile, was a political movement and party in Chile. Its members founded the space with the aim of stopping the Constitutional Convention.
It was founded in 2022 by Cristián Warnken and brings together prominent personalities in the country, including businessmen, former parliamentarians, and former politicians from the defunct Concertación coalition, particularly from the Party for Democracy and Christian Democratic Party. The movement emerged as a response to certain proposals of the Convention, which it viewed as "refoundational".
Once established as a party, Amarillos reunited political figures from centre-left and centre-right ―like Mario Waissbluth and Jaime Mañalich―, which installed this organization as a big-tent party focused in the experience of the Concertación .

History

The movement was born out of columns and letters that Warnken wrote in the radio station Pauta FM and in the newspaper El Mercurio. One such letter, titled "Yellow letter to my children", was published on 27 November 2021. In it, Warnken recounted an incident in Isla Negra where a group of young people yelled "amarillo" and "facho" at him. He drew on the term "amarillo", which had been used in the 1970s to discredit reformists. Patricio Fernández had previously updated the term in a column for The Clinic in July 2018. Warnken's column "Letter to all the yellow bases in the country" was published in Pauta on 6 February 2022, and served as the catalyst for the movement's founding.
On 23 September 2022, Amarillos por Chile presented its founding manifesto as a political party, along with its provisional directive. The first 100 members were also introduced, consisting mainly of former members and politicians from the PPD and PDC. On 21 October 2022, the Electoral Service declared the group as "in formation".

Dissolution

After failing to secure any seats, the party officially announced the start of its dissolution process after not reaching the minimum 5% threshold in the 2025 parliamentary elections. The party leadership stated that, having failed to meet the legal requirements, they were complying with the regulations of the Servel, which prevent the organization from continuing to exist.
