The Green Animalist Party (Spanish; Castilian: '''Partido Verde Animalista''', acronym PVA) is a Uruguayan conservative green party established in 2018, which places a particular emphasis on animal rights.
On 30 June 2019, its candidates took part in the primary elections and gained the right to participate in the October general election.[1] Their presidential candidate was Gustavo Salle, and Enrique Viana was intended to be his running mate,[2] but after Viana declined his participation, the party proclaimed Ana Cordano as the candidate for vicepresidency. In the general election, the party obtained 19,392 votes, around 0.83%, therefore, it failed to get any parliament representation. After the general elections, Salle left the party to create his own party.
The party competed again in the 2024 presidential primaries, where two nominees submitted their candidacy: philosophy teacher and vegan Rita Rodríguez González from the group Desafio, and the environmentalist and university professor Raúl Viñas for the group Movimiento por un Uruguay Sustentable. Rodríguez obtained 1084 votes against 293 of Viñas, then she became the presidential candidate for the party in the 2024 general elections.
