Evolution of the green party

Abstract

The four former mayors who were once leaders of the Green party in Colombia were obliged to discuss environmental affairs in all regions in this country during the course of their presidential campaigns and to turn them into campaign promises, in light of Colombia’s current situation. The nation faces environmental problems that deteriorate people’s quality of life. The political agenda of any government today must give high priority to these issues, taking into account population growth, people’s predatory actions, and the apathy of regional autonomous environmental agencies which, as administrative authorities, lost control of natural resources due to politicization and corruption, evident in the form of payments in return for unsupervised licenses or permits to pillage. Noneof the candidates gave impressive green speeches, but rather got themselves entangled with their fickleness and isolated many people thanks to others’ intrigues.
