The FARC has addressed the national and international opinion to address the problems and obstacles faced by the Final Peace Agreement.

The FARC press release said: "Our emancipatory action gave life to a nation that does not end up being the dream country for all. We signed a Peace Agreement, recognized and appreciated worldwide as one of the most serious and comprehensive reconciliation efforts ever undertaken. After more than half a century of internal war, we finally glimpsed a path other than weapons to settle our differences, so that life would never be lost in the attempt to change the political, economic and social situation."

Today, added the FARC press release "there are dangerous obstacles in the way of peace and reconciliation, and in the attempt to include Colombians without distinction of class, color or race, gender, political or religious beliefs in the great project of peace with social justice. The murders of community leaders did not end, the threat from high circles of power is revived, unleashing the demons of paramilitarism, stigmatization for political reasons, persecution and crime."

The press release continued: "We warn that Colombia is being governed not from the Nariño Palace, but from the parliamentary bench of the Democratic Center party led by Senator Álvaro Uribe Vélez. From there comes the campaign to destroy the Peace Agreements, the disqualifications and systematic attacks against the Comprehensive System of Truth, Justice, Reparation and Guarantees of Non-Repetition. Disqualification and attempts to defy the high Constitutional and Supreme Courts of Justice come from the Uribista bloc."

The FARC asked therefore: "Are we witnessing a "soft" coup d'état by elected President Iván Duque on behalf of his own party, the Democratic Center?" and reminded that "millions of Colombians will rise up in legitimate and legal struggle in defense of the Peace Agreement, in defense of life, in defense of the political, economic, social and cultural rights that are today the heritage of humanity. Colombia changed and changed forever, we will not allow the return of the "democratic security" that left millions of displaced people, thousands of massacres, war, death and desolation." 

The statement ended with the following remarks: "The bright season awaits us, where we will build together with all Colombians the country of participation, culture, full enjoyment of good living."
