After his separation from the Coalition of Parties for Democracy (Concertación de Partidos por la Democracia) and having founded the political movement ChileFirst, Senator Fernando Flores integrated the independent platform next to Carlos Cantero, who renounced from National Renewal to found the Movement Grand North; Carlos Bianchi; and Adolfo Zaldívar, ex Christian-democrat with close ties to the Regionalist Party of the Independents (Partido Regionalista de los Independientes).
This group of senators was key in proposing the coalition of right-wing Alliance for Chile, as in the destitution of the Minister Yasna Provoste for embezzlement and in the naming of Jovino Novoa (UDI) as the president of the Chilean Senate.After having joined the list "Clean Chile. Happy Vote" (Chile Limpio. Vote Feliz, formerly Por Un Chile Limpio), a separation was generated between the founding members of ChileFirst in respect to the position the party would take before the presidential and parliamentary elections of 2009. Meanwhile, Jorge Schaulsohn and Fernando Flores supported the candidate of the Alliance for Chile Sebastián Piñera, Esteban Valenzuela, also a member of parliament, rejected the union with the center-right and renounced ChileFirst in order to support Marco Enríquez-Ominami. The support for Sebastián Piñera by the part of ChilePrimero was made official on May 6, 2009, the same day the Coalition for Change itself became official, joining the Alliance for Chile, ChileFirst and other minor political movements.
