The Green Alliance (Spanish: Alianza Verde) is a Colombian political party located in the centre of the political spectrum. [1] The party advocates social justice, electoral reform and economic sustainability. [2]
The party supports the Colombian peace process and is currently seeking to form an electoral alliance with centrist and centre left parties to present a single presidential candidate in the 2018 general elections. [3]
The party was founded on November 25, 2005 in Bogotá by a group of people headed by Carlos Ramón González Merchan and Elías Pineda.
For the October 28, 2007 Colombian regional elections to elect department governors, department assembly deputies, mayors and councils and Local Administrative Juntas the party oddly won the governorships of Cesar with candidate Cristian Moreno Panezo and Boyacá with candidate José Roso Millán. The party also obtained 23 Municipal mayors.
Three independent former mayors of Bogota, Luis Eduardo Garzón, Antanas Mockus, and Enrique Peñalosa, formed an alliance to choose an independent candidate for the presidency. However, they required a political structure. The ad-hoc coalition merged with the Centre Option Green Party, which changed its name to Green Party. Following this, the new party joined by many regional politicians.
