AICO (Autoridades Indígenas de Colombia - Colombian Indigenous Authorities)

logo

The Movimiento AICO (Autoridades Indígenas de Colombia), or Colombian Indigenous Authorities. With the establishment of the CRIC, the Guambiano or Misak tribe got some representation and a movement to stand up for their rights. However in 1980 the Guambiano people left the CRIC because they thought the CRIC was merely a business-related organization, and too far from the native community it said it represented. That is when the AISO (Autoridades Indígenas del Suroccidente de Colombia), or South West Colombian Indigenous Authorities is established. Then in 1987, together with the Cabildo Indígena Pasto, Cabildo Indígena Camsá and Confederación Indígena Tairona they established the Movimiento AICO for the "political, economic and social ecological reconstruction and recovering of the proper cultural values of the native peoples. It has has nationwide representation at Department and City levels, at different governmental branches.

The Movimiento ALAS-Equipo Colombia (lit. WINGS - Team Colombia) is a center-right Party which is a merger between two already existing political parties: ALAS and Equipo Colombia. ALAS (lit. WINGS) stands for Alternativa Liberal de Avanzada Social (Advanced Social Liberal Alternative) and Equipo Colombia (Team Colombia). ALAS emerged in the late 1990s as an internal group within the Liberal Party, with representation in Congress only for the Department of Cesar. However in 2005 ALAS broke away from the Liberal Party and started to join forces with the Equipo Colombia Movement officially on December 14, 2005. Equipo Colombia on the other hand, was a political movement established back in 1992 in the Department of Antioquia under the name Equipo Unionista, most of them coming from the Conservative Party. The  Movimiento ALAS-Equipo Colombia has local and national representation at various levels.

Bolivarian Movement for the New Colombia (Movimiento Bolivariano para la Nueva Colombia)

Here's the flag of the Movimiento Bolivariano para la Nueva Colombia (Bolivarian Movement for the New Colombia), what has been instituted as the political wing of the Revolutionary Armed Force of Colombia - People's Army (FARC-EP), and founded early this year.
The flag is a typical Colombian tricolor, with a portrait of Simon Bolivar (in black and white and certain shades of grey) centered on it. The portrait used is a reproduction of the famous (and supposedly more accurate) portrait of Bolivar engraved by French artist Francois Desire Roulin (1796-1874) at Bogota dated February 15th, 1828.
Oddly enough, it seems an unbecoming choice for a revolutionary party/army: by 1828 Bolivar was serving as dictator of Colombia (then the Great Colombia; the union of Nueva Granada, Quito and Venezuela), allied with conservative and clerical groups who were interested in the union of the republics and, willing to support Bolivar, played for the predominance of Bogota in such an union. The rest is history. Perhaps this paradox is explained by the fact that, in the actual portrait, Bolivar faces rightwards, and not leftwards, as is used by the FARC-EP.
Guillermo Aveledo, 30 November 2000

The flag size should be the same as the Colombian one and the face of Simón Bolívar should be on yellow background instead of white, and looking towards the right, and not look towards the left.
It is based upon a Photo taken on August 29, 2000, during the launching of the illegal movement by the Farc at www.sedoparking.com.
The event is the official launching of the Bolivarian Movement for the New Colombia (Movimiento Bolivariano para la Nueva Colombia) during the failed Peace Process between the Colombian Government and this guerrilla group, during the period of 1998-2002. This act was carried out in the town of San Vicente del Caguán, a Municipality of the Department of Caquetá which was part of a Demilitarized Zone that the Government voluntarily gave to this guerrilla in order to provide security and trust to conduct the Peace Process.

Bolivarian Socialist Movement (Movimiento Socialista Bolivariano)

image by Eugene Ipavec, 14 January 2010

Movimiento Socialista Bolivariano (Bolivarian Socialist Movement) is a communist movement established in Colombia first in bordering cities with Venezuela and inspired by Venezuela's current government headed by Hugo Chávez. It is a movement, not a recognized political party in Colombia yet.
The flag is a red/black horizontal flag with the letters M.S.B. in the middle in white, pretty much inspired by the Cuban 26 de Julio movement since Chávez himself has said that his political inspiration is Fidel Castro.
The movement was established in 2007 and the flag is seen in many websites such as www.asiescucuta.com, www.radiomundial.com.ve, cucuta-politica.blogspot.com; etc.

The political movement currently called Opción Ciudadana (Citizen Option) first appeared as Partido Convergencia Ciudadana (Citizen Convergence Party) (official website: http://www.convergencia.org.co, broken link) established on July 24, 1997. Then on November 9, 2009 the party changed its name to PIN (Partido de Integración Nacional, National Integration Party) (official websites: http://www.partidopin.org and http://www.partidopin.com, broken links). Then it changed its name again to its current version on 2013.

I haven't found any image about its current flag (if any), but flag of Partido de Integración Nacional (PIN) is shown on pictures you linked. They were taken during party 2013 congress, probably before renaming the party, that's why PIN flag is shown. There is a picture about this flag with better visibility.
Zoltan Horvath, 06 August 2015

Indeed the picture you mention is the PIN flag. The issue is that the links I sent regarding the pictures and here in my opinion, are pictures of the flag of Opción Ciudadana, what do you think? Or maybe I got the wrong impression?
Esteban Rivera, 06 August 2015

These pictures were taken during the same event in 2013, and you can see the whole photoset. Left side of red letter P of part of party logo (behind the lady's head) can be seen on picture you linked. I'm quite sure it's flag of PIN (or previous) party flag.
New party flag could be also white but with new phoenix emblem and slogan as it was introduced in visual identity document, but I haven't found any visual evidence of it.

Civilian Christian Commitment with the Community Movement (Movimiento Compromiso Civico Cristiano con la Comunidad)

image contributed by E.R., 16 June 2005

There is a political movement in Colombia called "Movimiento Compromiso Civico Cristiano con la Comunidad" (Civilian Christian Commitment with the Community Movement) which is abbreviated as PC4, which stands for Partido C4 (or C4 Party). It currently has one seat in Colombia's Senate. Its official website is www.pc4.org.
E.R., 16 June 2005

Speaking of the PC4 party (which according to the new law is not a valid political party anymore because it did not achieve enough votes in the 2006 elections), the image featured on the website is the flag, but actually it should have the same ratio as most standard flags.
