  • This house as the European Commission regrets the signing of the Colombian peace agreement.

    Infoslide

    In 2016, the Colombian government and the guerrilla group FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) signed a peace agreement to end more than five decades of armed conflict. This agreement included, among other things, the demobilization of the guerrilla forces and their transition to legal political life. To that end, the new political party was guaranteed a minimum of 10 seats in the Colombian Congress (five in the Senate and five in the House of Representatives, corresponding to 5% and 3% of the total, respectively) for two legislative terms (eight years), regardless of the number of votes they received in the elections. The party advocates for social and economic causes that were part of its agenda during the years of armed conflict, such as land reform and social inclusion.
