Riverism
, with a lighter blue colour representing unitarianism. Riverism is a right-wing liberal-conservative ideology and political movement, started by Uruguayan politician Pedro Manini Ríos (which later liked fascism) and based on the figure of General Fructuoso Rivera, the first president of Uruguay. Riverism was born in a context of opposition to the reformist policies promoted by José Batlle y Ordóñez, as an attempt to return to the "original" traditions of the Colorado Party and to counter an alleged socialist takeover of the organization. Riverism is a conservative ideology, close to classical liberalism and radically opposed to statism. The official riverist press media was the newspaper "La Mañana", which is still in activity.
