^ A: The party has also been referred to having some neo-fascist ideologies such as the third position by some sources.

Cabildo Abierto (Spanish for "Open cabildo" or "Town hall meeting") is an Uruguayan political party founded in 2019. The party is described as right-wing populist,[1][2] nationalist[3][4][5] and conservative,[6] as well as mostly characterized as far-right on the mainstream political spectre.[7][8][9] However, it defines itself as Artiguist[10][11] and is referred to as a third position party by some sources.[12][13][verification needed] It participated for the first time in an election the same year of its foundation, obtaining 11.04% of the votes, three senators and eleven representatives.[14] It is led by Guido Manini Ríos, descendant of a traditional Colorado Party family and former Commander in Chief of the Army.

According to "Cifra", a consultancy firm, in October 2019, 24% of its voters were previously from the Broad Front, 14% from the Colorado Party and 10% from the National Party.[15] Gonzalo Ferreira Sienra, one of the children of Wilson Ferreira Aldunate, is a member of Cabildo Abierto.[16]
