The Social Convergence (Spanish: Convergencia Social, CS) is a left-wing political party in Chile. It is led by Gabriel Boric.[13]

It was founded in 2018 by the Autonomist Movement (MA), Libertarian Left (IL), Socialism and Freedom (SOL) and New Democracy (ND). It is part of the leftist coalition Broad Front.[9] In mid-2019, members of the movement began their process to register as a legally constituted political party.[14] 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.[15][16][17]
