Background

(Uni�n Democrata Independiente, UDI) is a Chilean right-wing, conservative political party, founded in 1983. Its main inspirer was the lawyer, politician and law professor Jaime Guzm�n, a civilian Augusto Pinochet's collaborator, and a senator from 1990 until his assassination on April 1, 1991.

Its ideological origins date back to the Jaime Guzm�n's Guildist Movement, born in the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile in 1966, espousing the independence and depoliticization of intermediate bodies of civil society.
