Abelardo dismantles three spaces of dialogue for total peace

President Abelardo de la Espriella has terminated peace negotiation spaces with three armed groups: the Disidencias de Alias 'Calarcá', Comandos de la Frontera, and Autodefensas Conquistadores de la Sierra Nevada. The government claims these groups lacked willingness to negotiate and removed their recognition, along with their representatives. This action follows previous measures by President Gustavo Petro, who had already revoked the status of negotiators for some members of the 'Calarcá' group, some of whom are believed to have died. The decision impacts ongoing programs like RenHacemos in Putumayo and Nariño, which aimed to replace illicit crops, and a sociolegal space for criminal organizations. De la Espriella criticized the previous administration for enabling terrorist groups and announced plans for an anti-terrorism statute. He also confirmed military actions against 'Calarcá' and approved the extradition of several high-profile figures, including 'Araña', leader of the Comandos de la Frontera.

President De La Espriella dismantles tables of dialogue with three illegal groups

The current president of Colombia, Abelardo De La Espriella, has issued three resolutions to dismantle all peace negotiation tables established by the previous administration of former President Gustavo Petro. These negotiations were conducted with illegal armed groups including the 'Estado Mayor' led by Iván Mordisco, the 'Autodefensas Conquistadoras de la Sierra Nevada,' and the 'Coordinadora Nacional Ejército Bolivariano.' The government claims these groups failed to demonstrate genuine willingness to pursue peace and reintegrate into civilian life, citing repeated violations of agreements and lack of progress. The decisions mark a shift away from Petro’s approach of seeking comprehensive peace through dialogue with such groups.
