Democratic Hope (Spanish: Esperanza Democrática), formerly known as Hope, Peace and Liberty (EPL, for Esperanza, Paz y Libertad) is a political party in Colombia. The party was created in 1991, when the guerrillas Popular Liberation Army (Ejército Popular de Liberación or EPL) demobilized. The demobilized members formed a party, and kept the initialism EPL in forming Hope, Peace and Liberty. The party was active mostly in Antioquia Department and Córdoba Department. However, some maverick remnants of the guerrilla still operate as such.
