SOMMA AND R. MEDEL of social movements. “Party protest,” as we label this phenomenon, happens when leaders, activists, and/or sympathizers of political parties participate in protest events and identify themselves as such—typically through public statements and chants or by carrying flags, banners, posters, or other visible signs related to their party. Although the subject of party protest can be pursued more extensively,25 in this chapter it suffices to note three findings. First, party protest is rare in Chile: we found evidence of party presence in only about 6 % of protest events between 2000 and 2012.

The situation is different for organizations with a more radical stance such as the All Lands Council or the Coordinadora Arauco–Malleco (CAM). They do not identify with Chile as a nation and aim at political autonomy. They heavily engage in disruptive and violent protest tactics. Clandestine or semi-clandestine as they are, they do not receive funds from polity members whatsoever—they find it contradictory to be supported by an institutional order they do not want to be part of. Also, many polity members from across the political spectrum are unwilling to support organizations which they believe commit terrorist acts.
