Relations[edit]

Throughout history, Colombia has had more than 120 heads of state, including presidents, presidential appointees, military leaders, ministers with presidential functions, and politicians who have held the vacant position, throughout more than 200 years of history, since 1810 up to the present.[1][2]

The South American country is one of the few countries in the world that, without being a monarchy, has been governed by people related to each other, either by maternal, paternal or mixed lines.[3] There are also kinships by affinity thanks to multiple marriages between these families, so that power has come to be concentrated in a handful of families. Some considered beurocratic dynasties, others political clans and more commonly known presidential families or first family. The use of the term "first family" to refer to the family of the President of Colombia only came into widespread use in North America during the Kennedy administration in the United States.
