Revista de la Mañana. Perspectivas del acuerdo de paz : Desaceleración en la implementación y retos políticos

Abstract

Two years after its signing, the implementation of the Peace Accord in Colombia shows a deceleration, partly attributed to the change in government and the lack of political majorities supporting certain points of the pact. The current challenge, beyond politics, is to regain the path of sustainable construction, with the economic reincorporation of FARC ex-combatants being crucial. The situation of the rank-and-file guerrillas is critical and differentiated: while in some areas like Miravalle they have managed to promote productive projects with international support, other reincorporation zones have disappeared, forcing many to disperse individually into cities or new regrouping points without a clear legal status. This complicates effective attention and protection policies. A balance of the initial period of the new government (August to October) shows a dual nature: on one hand, there is a discursive commitment and the creation of plans for the protection of social leaders and the reincorporation of the guerrilla bases; on the other, there is clear evidence of a significant setback, primarily the non-approval of the Special Transitional Peace Constituencies (Circunscripciones Especiales Transitorias de Paz), which affects victim reparation. Furthermore, the security of ex-combatants remains poor, with over 80 assassinations, often wrongly justified as disputes over illegal rents, which legitimizes the violence and affects overall implementation. Despite these challenges, the accord opens windows of opportunity for future negotiations with groups like the ELN and allows for submission-to-justice laws for organized armed groups
