The president of Colombia Juan Manuel Santos said on Saturday that he was willing to come in to the debate and to the vote of the Congress the text of the revised…
a final peace agreement with the rebel organization Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
Following the unexpected rejection of the original agreement, by the citizens in the referendum of the 2nd of October, mainly because of the objections of the right, which characterized far too lenient towards the rebels, last week the government of president Santos has published the full text of the revised agreement, in an attempt of securing widest possible consensus for the τερματιστό of the armed conflict that lasts 52 years.
President Santos, who was awarded the Nobel Peace prize last month for his efforts to terminate the war, stressed that initially you will consult with the leadership of the FARC, but said in agreement to put forward for discussion by the members of the new peace agreement.
The ex-president Alvaro Uribe, who has led the campaign for the ‘ no ‘ in the referendum for the original agreement has been requested to be tabled for discussion at the Congress the revised agreement.
“I agree that discussions should be continued by the members of the Congress and this will do it next Wednesday,” said Santos with a video of the speech.
I clarified what is going to be the approval process of the new peace agreement, but it seems more likely the ratification of this to be done by Congress, rather than to be put to a further referendum.
“The approval of the agreement is a very important step in the process and we listened with great attention to the views of those who argue that Congress is the best route to the adoption of the” stressed Santos.
The highly technical text of the 310-page, which has been extended and modified in order to be included in the agreement proposals of the ‘ no ‘ camp in the referendum and other factors clarifies issues such as property ownership, or how the rebels will be condemned for war crimes committed during the conflict will be put under restriction in the rural areas for periods of five to eight years of age, among others.
For the new text has been intensive negotiation of three weeks in Havana, Cuba, reported the two parties.
The armed conflict has officially claimed the lives of 260,000 people, not counting the approximately 45,000 ‘disappeared’, and displaced nearly 7 million people.
