Colombia’s opposition calls for civil resistance to FARC peace deal
written by Adriaan Alsema May 10, 2016
To the dismay of Colombia’s government, the country’s conservative opposition called on civil resistance to a pending peace deal with leftist FARC guerrillas.
The administration of President Juan Manuel Santos has been holding formal peace talks with the FARC since late 2012, but has found consistent resistance from his predecessor, Alvaro Uribe, who now called on his supporters to peaceful dissent if and when a final deal is reached.
“We need to prepare ourselves for civil resistance,” Uribe said Monday in an interview on national television network Caracol.
The former president, a controversial hardliner, has been opposing the peace talks because in his opinion they will imminently lead to “a full impunity deal.”
