Reunificación de la Gran Colombia | |
Reunification of Gran Colombia refers to the potential future reunification of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama under a single government. Although Gran Colombia only existed for 12 years and dissolved in the 19th century,[1] interest and efforts in reunification were expressed as early as 1903 when Panama separated from Colombia. People in favor of reunification are called "unionistas" or unionists. In 2008, President of Venezuela Hugo Chávez announced a proposal for the political restoration of Gran Colombia, under the Bolivarian Revolution.[2]
Today
[edit]Some commentators [who?] believe that a reunified Gran Colombia could become a global economic powerhouse. That would contrast with Gran Colombia in the 1820s, whose economy was mostly agrarian and had little industry.[3]
If Gran Colombia existed in 2017, it would have had a population of 96 Million people and an estimated gross domestic product of US$952 Billion.[4]
