New Colombian President Gustavo Petro this Sunday offered criminal “benefits” to armed groups in exchange for them signing peace following a 2016 deal with the then FARC partisans.

“We call on all armed people to lay down their arms in the nebula of the past. Accept legal benefits in exchange for peace, in exchange for the ultimate non-repetition of violence,” the Colombian leftist leader said in a speech at an investment event.

Gustavo Petro expressed interest in making a “complete peace” with the groups left in arms after the dissolution of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and its transformation into a political party. For this reason, he indicated that he would give priority to dialogue with these groups.

The ELN guerrillas, the last to be recognized after the disarmament of the FARC in 2017, have expressed their intention to engage in dialogue with the new government. Similarly, dissidents who did not accept the peace process that ended what was once the most powerful guerrilla group on the continent were willing to accept a bilateral ceasefire.

Clan del Golfo criminal group announces ceasefire

The Gaitanista Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AGC), also known as Clan del Golfo, announced this Sunday a “unilateral cessation of offensive hostilities” to seek “ways of peace” in the face of a “different era” that has opened up in Colombia since accession. Gustavo Petro.

“The regime of the outgoing President (Ivan) Duque (sic) is finally ending,” begins the statement of this group, the largest criminal group in the country, where they assure that the government that ends today “is the representative of all things that must change in country to achieve an elusive peace.”

Thus, they hope that from this Sunday “a different era will begin for our troubled homeland”, in which they will cancel “all extreme measures” that they had to “carry out”, and decree “a unilateral cessation of offensive hostilities”. as an expression of good will with the Government that is starting”.

Petro criticizes US drug policy

Gustavo Petro called the anti-drug policy that the country joined decades ago a “resounding failure”. In his investiture speech, he considered that this policy must be urgently changed.

“He left a million Hispanics dead,” said the newly inaugurated head of state, believing that this policy did not achieve its goal and, on the contrary, strengthened the drug-trafficking mafia and “weakened the States.”
