The Conservative Party of Colombia ( Spanish Partido Conservador Colombiano ) is a political party in Colombia . It was founded in 1849 by Mariano Ospina Rodríguez and José Eusebio Caro . They prepared a manifesto they called the "Conservative Program of 1849" which appeared in the La Civilización newspaper.
Founding ideas and history
The manifesto included the basic ideology of conservatism, which was mainly inspired by the classical philosophers Plato and Aristotle , as well as Christian thinkers such as Augustine , Thomas Aquinas and Francisco Suarez . They were also influenced by the fathers of the emancipation of the North American colonies in 1776 and the French Revolution , particularly with regard to freedoms and human rights .
From 1858 to 2002, the Conservatives and the Liberal Party of Colombia alternately shared government power in Colombia.

In the 2010 presidential election , the Conservative Party was represented by Noemí Sanín .
