Pinochetism
Pinochetism (Spanish: Pinochetismo) is a right-wing and far-right personalist ideology based on the principles of anticommunism, authoritarianism, militarism, conservatism, patriotism, chauvinism, nationalism and neoliberalism.[citation needed] The ideology is inspired in Augusto Pinochet, who headed the military dictatorship of Chile from 1973 to 1990. Former and current supporters of said dictatorship are known as "pinochetistas".
The Chilean Republican Party founded in 2019 is today the main group of "organic Pinochetism", the new far-right in Chile, with the party receiving increasing support as centre-left and center-right parties began to reach a point of political convergence in the area policies and a perceived collusion in corruption as scandals arose.[1][2] The party's ideological doctrine is similar to the previously existing Gremialismo.[1][2] José Antonio Kast, the founder of the party had left the Independent Democratic Union in protest, believing that the party criticized Augusto Pinochet too often.[1]
Another Pinochetist movement is National Force, also founded in 2019.[3] Among its members is a lawyer of military men convicted of human rights violations during the dictatorship.[3]
