The Conservative Party (Spanish: Partido Conservador) is a centre-right political party in Carloso. It is the oldest party in the country, formed in the 1890s. It dominated Carlosian politics for most of the 20th century and the early years of the 21st, with only brief interruptions by the Democratic Party during the 1960s and from 2001 to 2006. Initially considered a staunchly nationalist, conservative and anti-communist party for much of its exisestence, it began to soften its stances beginning in the 1990s with the downfall of the communist regimes in Musogorica, embracing neoliberal economics. The Blue Revolution in 2010 resulted in the near total collapse of the Conservative Party's support, producing its worst ever election result. Most of the grassroots, finanical backers and the national conservative faction of the party defected to the new National Salvation, a splinter group led by former Minister for Finance Cárlos Tobón and businessman Estebán Santander. The party has struggled to recover since then.
