Gustavo Petro’s total peace plan advances in Congress

The Minister of the Interior, Alphonse Pradaexplained that what was approved differentiates the negotiation processes of the different groups, between those with political status, such as the ELN guerrillas, and those such as the dissidents of the FARC or the groups paramilitarieswhich must be submitted to the ordinary Justice.

In that ‘total peace’, he deepens, a regulatory framework with which it is intended to advance in the negotiation to “welcome” or “transform” “organizations high-impact criminals” and identify which path to take to combine “negotiations of a political nature” with judicial submission.

“We don’t want to give belligerent status to criminal organizations that don’t have belligerent status. The peace negotiations would only apply to the ELN guerrilla“, remarked the senator of Alianza Verde Ariel Avila in the microphones of Caracol Radio.

The rule states that the so-called ‘total peace’ will become state policywhich means that the successor governments to that of Gustavo Petro will be obliged to keep the negotiations in force and comply with the agreements that are reached.

In turn, as Ávila has detailed, the initiative of the Colombian Government establishes the possibility of achieving in the first instance “partial agreements” with which to be able to have a multilateral ceasefire next year, in addition to creating figures such as “location zones” where the process advances, the “social service for peace” cAs an alternative to military service, or the voluntary surrender of arms under anonymity.
