The Coalition for Change was a presidential and parliamentary electoral coalition that groups the supporters of President Sebastián Piñera for the 2009-2010 Chilean election. Its predecessor was the Alliance for Chile (Alianza por Chile). The constituent parties are the Independent Democratic Union (Unión Demócrata Independiente), National Renewal (Renovación Nacional), ChileFirst (ChilePrimero), the movements Grand North (Norte Grande), and Christian Humanism (Humanista Cristiano). This coalition speech aspired to leave behind divisions that have polarized Chilean society, and his objective was work together for the future of Chile by creating a democracy representative of the diverse creeds with respect, tolerance and friendship.
After his separation from the Concert of Parties for Democracy (Concertación de Partidos por la Democracia) and having founded the political movement ChileFirst, Senator Fernando Flores integrated the independent platform next to Carlos Cantero, who renounced from National Renewal to found the Movement Grand North; Carlos Bianchi; and Adolfo Zaldívar, ex Christian-democrat with close ties to the Regionalist Party of the Independents (Partido Regionalista de los Independientes).
This group of senators was key in proposing the coalition of right-wing Alliance for Chile, as in the destitution of the Minister Yasna Provoste for embezzlement and in the naming of Jovino Novoa (UDI) as the president of the Chilean Senate.
