Abstract

National Action was a small nationalist political party that emerged from the 1964 frustrated Jorge Prat Echaurren’s presidential candidature. After the parliamentary elections of 1965, in which the right obtained a residual parliamentary representation, National Action proposed to merge conservatives, liberals, nationalists and non-marxist independents in a new political group. This is an account of its short existence.
