Green Animalist Party

Uruguayan green party

The Green Animalist Party (Spanish: Partido Verde Animalista, acronym PVA) is a Uruguayan conservative green party established in 2018, which places a particular emphasis on animal rights.

On 30 June 2019, its candidates took part in the primary elections and gained the right to participate in the October general election.[1] Their presidential candidate was Gustavo Salle, and Enrique Viana was intended to be his running mate,[2] but after Viana declined his participation, the party proclaimed Ana Cordano as the candidate for vicepresidency.[3] In the general election, the party obtained 19,392 votes, around 0.83%, therefore, it failed to get any parliament representation.[4] After the general elections, Salle left the party to create his own party.[5]

The party competed again in the 2024 presidential primaries, where two nominees submitted their candidacy: philosophy teacher and vegan Rita Rodríguez González from the group Desafio,[5] and the environmentalist and university professor Raúl Viñas for the group Movimiento por un Uruguay Sustentable.[6] Rodríguez obtained 1084 votes against 293 of Viñas, then she became the presidential candidate for the party in the 2024 general elections.[7]
