Colombia Rebels for New
Government
The Revolutionary Armed
Forces of Colombia (FARC)
advocated an alternative
of change through a
Grand National Agreement
for peace, to create a
new government that
convenes a Constituent
Assembly.
According to an 8-point
proposal signed by the
secretariat of FARC
General Staff, and
published today by
ANNCOL news agency, it
is necessary to reach a
National Agreement to
"pave concrete ways
towards lasting peace."
The vast document
strongly criticizes the
Colombian government for
its links with
paramilitaries and the
so called Democratic
Security policy,
supported by the US, to
try to crush the
guerrilla movement.
It also calls for all
democratic sectors to
join "under one
political and social
flag, to create a new
government that works
for peace and social
justice."
The FARC also submits
the Bolivarian Platform
for the New Colombia to
the consideration of the
country, to open debates
on the program of a
government, which they
suggest to be
"patriotic, democratic,
and committed to a
political solution to
the conflict."
