Colombian politician María Fernanda Cabal has been involved in several political developments. Initially, she entered a dispute with Ombudsman Iris Marín regarding the historical interpretation of the extermination of the Unión Patriótica (UP) political party. Cabal contested accusations of using stigmatizing discourse, arguing that the violence against the party involved various armed actors rather than being solely the responsibility of the State.

Following these events, Cabal announced her resignation from the Centro Democrático party, which she has been a member of since 2014. She cited “fundamental differences” between her ideological views and the party’s current direction. While maintaining her respect for former President Álvaro Uribe, Cabal indicated her intention to build a new political project and potentially form her own movement for future elections.
