In the words of the Colombian president, who made the announcement on 14 January 2019, PROSUR would be "a South American coordination mechanism for public policies, in defense of democracy, the independence of powers, the market economy, the social agenda, with sustainability and with due application".[3] On 18 February 2019, the President of Chile, Sebastián Piñera, said "this new forum will be open to all South American countries that meet two requirements: full validity of the rule of law and full respect for freedoms and human rights".[4]
It has been characterised as a right-wing response to the left-wing UNASUR.[5][6]
On April 3, 2022, the new president of Chile, Gabriel Boric, announced that the country was suspending its participation in the alliance.[7][8] Suriname joined the alliance in 2022.[9]
