El Partido Republicano, or Republican Party in English, is one of the three major political parties in Colombia. The Republican Party has typically been referred to as a center-right party, which has drifted leftward to fill the void in the middle of the political spectrum since the shift of the Social Party toward the far left since the 1960's. The Republicans are generally socially moderate, fiscally conservative and support a robust foreign policy based on a strong military and a broad diplomatic influence overseas.
