In mid-2019, members of the movement began their process to register as a legally constituted political party.[2]
In November 2019, the Libertarian Left movement and hundreds of militants decided to resign from the party, rejecting the participation of deputy Gabriel Boric in a political agreement for a constitutional plebiscite that emerged after the protests on October 18.[3][4][5]
