It was founded in 2022 by Cristián Warnken and brings together prominent personalities in the country, including businessmen, former parliamentarians, and former politicians from the defunct Concertación coalition, particularly from the Party for Democracy (PPD) and Christian Democratic Party (PDC). The movement emerged as a response to certain proposals of the Constitutional Convention, which it viewed as "refoundational".
Once established as a party, Amarillos reunited political figures from centre-left and centre-right ―like Mario Waissbluth and Jaime Mañalich―, which installed this organization as a big-tent party focused in the experience of the Concertación (coalition of the Chilean post-dictatorial period) (1988−2013).
