The chief negotiator Camilo González explained that the violence suffered by this territory has transformed the panorama of the negotiations and also generated the suspension of the peace talks.
The department of Cauca has become a focus of conflict that impacts the lives of hundreds of people. According to Camilo González, chief negotiator of the National Government with the dissidents of the FARC Central General Staff, the region is experiencing the most critical wave of violence in the country.
González stated that this problem has accounted for the highest percentage of armed confrontations and damage to the population.
“We came from a situation in March where nine serious situations occurred in Cauca compared to the 27 in the entire country, for the month of April and May there are 50 situations in Cauca and 75 at the national level, which which means that the cauca concentrates the armed confrontations, damage to the population and the most serious terror situations throughout Colombia,” indicated the chief negotiator.
Commitment
In this way, the leader in the peace dialogues with the Central General Staff explained that the violence suffered by Cauca has transformed the panorama of the negotiations and also generated the suspension of the Peace dialogues.
“In our delegation, dialogue and table commitments are maintained with the Briceño and Magdalena Medio blocks that remain at the table. With the others there are no negotiations or conversations at this time,” he added.
Attacks
Thus, González assured that the situation is supremely critical in the face of “this panorama of attacks as brutal as those we have seen in Morales and now in Los Robles, in Popayán, with armed confrontations in Toribio, since it has darkened the entire panorama and has suspended the dialogues,” he explained.
The chief negotiator said that the population expects a response from the National Government in the face of the complicated situation in this region of the country. Furthermore, he confirmed that he has not received instructions from President Gustavo Petro to resume dialogues or return to the conversation tables with the dissidents of the Western bloc in Cauca.
