History
editThe party was created by an independent deputy Alejandra Sepúlveda with the support of other former deputies like Esteban Valenzuela and Aníbal Pérez.[3] The idea behind the creation of MIRAV arose after a meeting held on June 12, 2015 in the O'Higgins Region, where several politicians who were unhappy with the way traditional political parties of Chile were running their country met. There, it was decided to officially register MIRAV as the first step towards the founding of several parties in region that would join a "federation of regionalist parties" which will focus on a new electoral system in the upcoming and next parliamentary elections, in which there will no longer be a binomial voting system.[4][5]
The party's founding process began in July, when its first minutes were published in the Official Journal of the Republic of Chile.[6] The party announced that it would present candidates for mayors and councilors in the 2016 municipal elections, as part of the Democratic Alternative alliance.[7][8]
On February 2, 2016, the party was officially registered in the Registry of Political Parties, being recognized by the Electoral Service. In January 2017, the party agreed to merge with the Regional and Popular Front, the Green North Regional Force and Somos Aysén to form the Social Green Regionalist Federation (FREVS). The party was officially dissolved on April 25, 2017 when FREVS was created.[8][9]
