Bolivar is the image in which conservatism in Colombia creates its ideologies: the ideals of this great character were used by many years on the different conservative movements. But the first formal party was created at the year of 1837, because of Jose Ignacio de Marquez and the image of Bolivar, it was known as "Republicanos Moderados". There did not existed a program, but they were believers of God, and liked Order and Control.
