The strengthening of democracy is one of the central purposes of the 2016 Final Agreement for the transformation of the political conditions that facilitated the persistence of the armed conflict in Colombia for decades. One of the measures contemplated in the Agreement, taken from the 1991 Constitution, is the Opposition Statute, a figure in force at the national, departmental and municipal levels, which guarantees the specific rights and duties that correspond to political parties and groups that declare themselves in opposition or independent from the respective governments, facilitating their critical and alternative role in the exercise of political representation.
