description The Republican Union was a political movement that existed in Colombia between 1908 and 1914 and which represented an advance in terms of political modernity under the principlesof tolerance and conciliation. The objective of this article is to analyse the presidential term of Carlos E. Restrepo 1910-1914, considered to be moderate, which sought to consolidate peace andnational progress, confronting economic and political instability and conflicts between conservatives and liberals. The text is framed within political history and attempts to make an account of theinstitutions, subjects, ideas, information networks, the role of the actors and the political practices. The hypothesis that is put forward in this article is that the Republican Union, despite proposing aquick advance in economic progress, formulating a novel policy of public instruction, attempting to separate the Church from politics, and representing both liberals and conservatives in thegovernment of Carlos E. Restrepo, was not solid enough, nor could it confront the traditionalist mentality and political practices of Colombian society at the beginning of the 20th Century that propelled the bipartisan conflict, causing opposition between old friends and allies of republicanism. This resulted in the return of many of its leaders to their parties of origin, the weakening of the republican project and the erosion of the Republican Union as a bipartisan political movement.

La Unión Republicana fue un movimiento político que estuvo vigente en Colombia entre 1908 y 1914 y que significó un avance en términos de modernidad política bajo principios de tolerancia y conciliación. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el periodo presidencial de Carlos E. Restrepo 1910-1914, considerado un gobierno de tendencia moderada, que buscó consolidar la paz y el progreso nacional haciendo frente a la inestabilidad económica y política, y a los conflictos entre liberales y conservadores. El texto se enmarca en la historia política, y pretende dar cuenta de las instituciones, los sujetos, las ideas, las redes de información, el papel de los actores y las prácticas políticas. La hipótesis que se plantea en este artículo es que la Unión Republicana aunque propuso un ligero avance en el progreso económico, formuló una política novedosa de instrucción pública, intentó separar a la Iglesia de la política y dio representación tanto a liberales como a conservadores en el gobierno de Carlos E. Restrepo; no fue lo suficientemente sólida, ni pudo hacer frente a la mentalidad y prácticas políticas tradicionalistas de la sociedad colombiana propias de comienzos del siglo XX, que se movían en la contienda bipartidista, ocasionando la oposición de antiguos amigos y aliados del republicanismo; el consecuente retorno de muchos de sus líderes a los partidos de origen; el debilitamiento del proyecto republicano y la erosión de la Unión Republicana como movimiento político bipartidista. L’Unión Republicana a été un courant politique très actif en Colombie entre 1908 et 1914, qui a signifié une avance en termes de modernité politique à partir de principes tels que la tolérance et la conciliation. Le but de cet article est d’analyser la période présidentielle de Carlos E. Restrepo (1910-1914), considéré comme un gouvernement modéré qui a cherché à consolider la paix et le progrès national dans un contexte d’instabilité économique et politique et de grand opposition entre libéraux et conservateurs. Ce texte s’encadre dans l’histoire politique et veut rendre comptedes institutions, des sujets, des idées, des réseaux d’information, du rôle des acteurs et des pratiques politiques. L’hypothèse que l’on propose c’est que l’Unión Republicana a supposé uncertain progrès économique, a formulé une politique nouvelle d’instruction publique, a essayé de séparer l’église de la politique et a donné de la représentation aussi bien au libéraux comme aux conservateurs dans le gouvernement de Carlos E. Restrepo.Or, elle n’a pas été assez solide ni fait face à la mentalité ni aux pratiques politiques traditionnelles de la société colombienne au début du XXe siècle, très marqués par le bipartisme et l’oppositiond’anciens compagnons de route du républicanisme, ce qui a donné lieu au retour de beaucoup de ses leaders aux partis d’origine, à l’affaiblissement du projet républicain et à l’érosion de l’Unión Republicana comme mouvement politique fondé sur le bipartisme.
