''Not to be confused with Chile Vamos, the coalition that dissoluted, de facto, the Alianza.''

The Alianza (Alliance), previously known as Alianza por Chile (Alliance for Chile), was a coalition of right-wing Chilean political parties. The Alianza was replaced between 2009 and 2012 by the Coalition for Change. After the 2012 municipal elections, the coalition returned to its original name. In 2015 was replaced with Chile Vamos.

It included the National Renewal (Renovación Nacional, RN) and the Independent Democratic Union (Unión Democrática Independiente, UDI). In the past it has included the National Party, the regional Southern Party (Partido del Sur) and the Union of the Centrist Center (Unión de Centro Centro, UCC), all of which are now defunct.

Major leaders of the Alianza have included Jovino Novoa (UDI), Pablo Longueira (UDI), Jaime Guzmán (UDI), Joaquín Lavín (UDI), Sebastián Piñera (RN), Lily Pérez (RN), Andrés Allamand (RN), Sergio Onofre Jarpa (RN), and Sergio Romero (RN).

Failing an exchange of ambassadors, the Alianza began preparing for its third attempt to force the United States into a legal collision.

Reporters, who could find Tijerina even when the law could not, quoted him as calling for a "showdown," as hinting that the Alianza would take control of the San Joaquíin grant by force of arms, and as saying that his members would come to Coyote "prepared to fight.
