Descripció:This article examines the participation of evangelical figures in Uruguayan politics in the 21st century, analyzing their agendas, projects, and effects in the political and religious spheres. It begins with the diversity within the evangelical field, between biblical conservatives and historical liberationists. Using mixed methods, it observes the evolution of Uruguayan evangelicals from a pietistic withdrawal to active political participation. In Uruguay, biblical conservative evangelicals dominate politics with pro-life, pro-family, and anti-gender ideology positions. However, there are historical liberationist evangelical politicians with different positions. Evangelical figures in politics have not formed a party or a specific bench. Although most of them belong to the National Party, they are distributed in several parties and lack organic coordination.
