Sosism

Julio María Sosa, Uruguayan Colorado politician and main figure of sosism, depicted on a medallion.

Sosism (Spanish: Sosismo) was a short-lived corporatist political movement in Uruguay, led by Julio María Sosa.

The movement was one of the three Colorado factions that opposed José Batlle y Ordóñez and tried to realign the party to the right-wing position along with Riverism and Vierism.[1]

Sosists ran for the elections under the name of "Colorado Party for Tradition" (Spanish: Partido Colorado por la Tradición"). They directed the "La Razón" newspaper in Montevideo[2] and "La Cruzada" in Treinta y Tres.[3] The movement was also known as "Traditionalism" (Spanish: Tradicionalismo).[4]
