It was co-founded in 2018 by the Autonomist Movement (MA), Libertarian Left (IL) (a part of the movement left the party in 2019), Socialism and Freedom (SOL) and New Democracy (ND). It was part of the leftist coalition Broad Front.[8] In mid-2019, members of the movement began their process to register as a legally constituted political party.[13]
Social Convergence experienced an internal crisis in 2019, after a large number of militants resigned from the party, due to the initial rejection of Gabriel Boric's participation in the agreement made by the congress to create a new constitution, initiated due to the 2019 Chilean protests. Arguing that the agreement did not seem to them to be a sufficient response to the protests.[14][15] However, after the changes that the agreement underwent (gender parity, indigenous seats, etc.), these members ended up supporting the agreement, but did not remain part of the party.[16][17]
In July 2024 the party merged into the Broad Front party, which is a successor of the Broad Front coalition.
