THE Farc political party and other opposition congress members have criticised the Colombian government over a lack of political will to implement the peace process after Interior Minister Nancy Patricia Gutierrez said that the agreement had “semi-failed.”
It comes as the Farc announced that 185 former guerillas in the re-incorporation process have been murdered since the peace agreement was signed in November 2016.
At a forum in Bogota on January 28, Gutierrez blamed the Farc for failing to comply with the peace agreement even though the United Nations and other international observers have repeatedly verified the Farc’s fulfilment of its obligations, despite the slow implementation of the agreement.
