Sumemos (Spanish for "Let's add") is a Chilean political coalition that brings together two parties and a liberal center political movement. It was officially presented on January 13, 2016 in an event held in the building of the former National Congress of Chile.
It was founded with the name Future Sense (Spanish: Sentido Futuro, SF). Its origins go back to September 28, 2015, when Amplitude announced the formation of a political coalition of liberal center next to the movements Citizens and Liberal Network (Spanish: Red Liberal), facing the municipal elections of 2016 in which it was presented under the name of "Chile wants Amplitude» (Spanish: Chile Quiere Amplitud) with 41 candidates for mayor and 289 for councilors. They have also indicated that they intend to present their own presidential candidate for the 2017 elections.
By April 2017, while the two parties that make up the coalition (Amplitude and Citizens) registered their collectivities in a minimum of three continuous regions or eight discontinuous regions to maintain their legal status, several parliamentary candidates were presented, such as Luis Larraín (district 10) and Sacha Razmilic (district 8) for deputies, and Lily Pérez, Jorge Errázuriz (constituency 6) and Andrés Velasco Brañes for senators. On that occasion they also announced that they expect to obtain 3 seats in the Senate and 6 to 8 in the Chamber of Deputies.
It is formed by Amplitude and Citizens, parties emerged as divisions and groups of independents near Chile Vamos and the New Majority. Also part of Sense Future is the political movement Liberal Network (Red Liberal), led by Sacha Razmilic, and Everybody (Todos), led by Gabriel Gurovich.
