| Sumario: | The aim of this article is to explore how social movements become politicized in response to the neoliberal attempt to depoliticize politics. It is argued that the concept of a political community of belonging enriches the discussion on populism in Latin America by considering not only its relationship with democracy, within an analytical framework that goes beyond liberalism, but also the transition of social protest into the political realm. This transition is evident both in the institutional space, through political parties operating within the framework of the state, and in the non-state space, through “societies in movement”. The Chilean uprising of 2019 is a clear example of this dynamic, illustrated by the electoral victory of the institutional left led by Gabriel Boric and the beginning of a democratic constituent process aimed at replacing the 1980 Constitution, inherited from Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship (1973-1990). |
