El renacer de una víctima política: La devolución de la personería jurídica al partido político Unión Patriótica en el contexto de un nuevo derecho electoral de la transición en Colombia

The restoration of the legal personality of the Unión Patriótica (Patriotic Union) political party by the highest administrative contentious court in Colombia is a precedent in terms of reparations to political subjects victimized because of their ideology. What was the motivation for this reparation in Colombia? What are the possibilities and limits of the task of reparations to a political collectivity? The text presented answers these questions through a qualitative investigation that employs a case study to explore, from different sources, what this process has been like. The article concludes that, as a result of the return of legal personality to Unión Patriótica, this political subject has been reborn, reclaiming a place in the political spectrum and becoming a key element in the understanding of a new Colombian electoral law of transition.
