== History == In May 2019, the former president of Uruguay, Julio María Sanguinetti expressed himself favouring a political alliance to compete with the ruling party in the general elections. According to the statements, the Colorado Party, the National Party and the Independent Party should be included.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.republica.com.uy/sanguinetti-es-partidario-de-formar-una-coalicion-antes-de-octubre-id708627/|title=Sanguinetti es partidario de formar una coalición "antes" de octubre|date=6 May 2019|website=Diario La República|language=es|access-date=26 February 2020}}</ref>
At the beginning of September 2019, the then candidate for the PN, Luis Lacalle Pou, expressed to Argentine businessmen that in Uruguay an alternation in power was taking place in which there would have to be an agreement between "four or five opposition parties", which he later referred to as "Multicolor Coalition".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://radiouruguay.uy/lacalle-pou-dijo-en-salto-que-aspira-a-una-coalicion-multicolor/|title=Lacalle Pou dijo en Salto que aspira a una "coalición multicolor"|website=Uruguay|language=es-UY|access-date=26 February 2020}}</ref> On the night of 27 October, the day the general election was held, after knowing the projections of results, Ernesto Talvi, Guido Manini Ríos and Edgardo Novick announced their support of Lacalle Pou in the second round.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.subrayado.com.uy/talvi-llamo-votar-lacalle-pou-y-anuncio-que-hara-campana-el-candidato-blanco-n565437|title=Talvi llamó a votar por Lacalle Pou y anunció que hará campaña por el líder blanco|website=subrayado.com.uy|language=es-ES|access-date=26 February 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/manini-rios-anuncio-su-apoyo-a-lacalle-pou-en-segunda-vuelta-20191027215250|title=Manini Ríos anunció que su partido apoyará a Lacalle Pou en segunda vuelta|last=Observador|first=El|website=El Observador|access-date=26 February 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.elpais.com.uy/informacion/politica/noviembre-apoyar-lacalle-pou-dijo-novick.html|title="El 24 de noviembre vamos a apoyar a Lacalle Pou", dijo Novick|last=ElPais|website=Diario EL PAIS Uruguay|language=spanish|access-date=26 February 2020}}</ref>
