Political Evolution (Spanish: Evolución Política, Evópoli) is a Chilean center-right political party in formation, founded in 2012, which groups independents that are not part of the Independent Democratic Union, National Renewal and the Independent Regionalist Party, the other members of Chile Vamos.

History

Felipe Kast, Luciano Cruz-Coke, Harald Beyer and Juan Sebastián Montes founded the movement on December 12, 2012.[1]

Evópoli agreed to participate in the primary parliamentary elections of National Renewal in 2013.[2] Of the three candidates presented to the primaries, Eduardo Cuevas was the winner in the 19th district (Independencia and Recoleta).[3] Evópoli participated in the parliamentary elections with five candidates for parliament, including Cuevas (district 19) and Felipe Kast (District 22). However, the senatorial candidacy of Luciano Cruz-Coke for the Antofagasta Region failed to materialize, as the Socialist Party challenged his candidacy on the Electoral Court (Tricel), considering that it was applicable the restriction on State ministers, which must resign at least a year before they could become parliamentary candidates.[4] On September 12 the Tricel annulled the candidacy of Cruz-Coke.[5]

For the presidential election of that year, Evópoli supported the candidate of the Alliance, Evelyn Matthei, and Kast joined his command in the second round.[6] In the parliamentary elections of 2013, Felipe Kast was elected deputy for the district 22 (Santiago).

On December 18 of that year, 150 advisers joined its ranks, including ministers Pedro Pablo Errázuriz and Roberto Ampuero.[7]

The April 12, 2014 General Council of Evópoli announced the decision to become a political party. On the same occasion María Francisca Correa was elected as president; Luciano Cruz-Coke, Pedro Pablo Errázuriz, Francisco Irarrázaval, Cecilia María Vasallo and Andrés Molina were elected vice presidents, and Jorge Saint Jean was appointed as secretary general.[8] The founding charter of the party was signed on March 21, 2015, and the process of registration with the Electoral Service of Chile began.[9]

Subsequently, on July 24, 2015, was published in the Official Gazzette the extract of the party constitution, which Evópoli fell into the category of "party in formation" and it should get the necessary notarized signatures required by law to be formally registered as a political party under Chilean law, for each region.[10]
