Given the possibility that the law recognizes that victims of armed conflict inside Colombia, which already has supported by President Santos, Former President Uribe waving a "original" counter which contradicts the arguments used during his tenure to polarize the public rather to promote the rational analysis of the conflict.

Uribe takes the issue to revive his accustomed hate the FARC, its main weapon of electoral propaganda for his political group whose victory in the October elections would facilitate their return to power now in a hall or in the future through constitutional reform. Pole disrepute due to corruption in the Mayor of Bogota and gross mismanagement of Samuel Moreno, survival Uribe's entourage prison from Congress and cultivated good relations with the most right-wing sector of the armed forces are part of the resources to his return to power.
Its counter has clear intentions, including leaving out the law to victims of crimes perpetrated by state agents and the deaths and disappearances, false positives occurred during his administration and a higher profile gravity just because it is the constitutionally mandated government that must ensure life of citizens. (The FARC never swore by God and respect for one's country constitution as it does a government).
Uribe's kingdom is not of peace, "Uribe is concerned that Colombians continue to believe that the FARC narco-terrorists are a few simple without political significance, at the same level of organized crime by paramilitaries. Uribe is interested in continuing the war and the economic interests of their group membership are linked to the war.
's note on the counter Weather Uribe said: "According to Uribe, the words" should refer to victims of armed groups outside the law and not victims internal armed conflict "
" armed groups outside the law "as proposed by Uribe, included in the same category as the FARC, the ELN and the paramilitaries (now BACRIM) never rebelled against the state as the FARC and the ELN.
paramilitaries never rose against the state because they are simply criminal not political but economic objectives even if they are supported by certain political figures, or acted with them to steal the state. never confronted the armed forces. Joining them for the purpose of defeating the FARC to dominate the territory suitable for growing coca.
Aunque Uribe haya hecho hincapié en el aspecto "narcoterrorista" de las FARC, eso no invalida el hecho de que las FARC son actores políticos.
Los objetivos de las FARC son políticos- Las FARC se financian ilegalmente, como todos los grupos insurgentes porque no cuentan con fondos del estado como las fuerzas armadas. Pero su objetivo principal no es el narcotráfico, sino atacar al estado y eventualmente suplantarlo. Es un hecho que las FARC realizan labores propias del estado como es atender enfermos en algunos poblados, construir caminos, etc., aunque esto redunde en su propio beneficio.
Change the name does not change the reality-As much as our former president should endeavor to put another name, that does not change the conditions so that the Colombian conflict is no longer an internal armed conflict as recognizes the International Red Cross, United Nations and the Geneva Protocol art.3.
According to the criteria of an internal armed conflict there is universal:
-when faced with two unequal forces, a rebel and state forces.
when -military hostile actions of some of the public against the state.
, when the armed group is organized in blocks with military chains of command.
-territorial and when they have minimal control.
And while Uribe is bent on denying this, the legitimacy or otherwise of the FARC as a political group depends on the government to respond militarily and politically and not on whether to call narco.
are the facts and no names or descriptions that legitimize the political nature of the FARC as listed below.
-Participation of the armed forces to fight the FARC and ELN.
-The action and direct mediation of the International Red Cross in conflict zones.
- La Piedad Córdoba intermediation and Brazilian drivers in the release of kidnapped hostages called for subversion because it's named international entities to accept the existence of internal armed conflict. Uribe calls kidnapped because they accept the existence of armed conflict. It's called kidnapping case of deprivation of liberty does not exist in a context of war, but common crime.
-The cessation of action for delivering military kidnapped
- The massive military spending (see SIPRI) on weapons, aircraft and military personnel trained in counterinsurgency warfare that serve only to an internal armed conflict and are unsuitable for external armed conflict. Colombia has the largest military budget in South America after Brazil, almost all dedicated to fighting the guerrillas
- The U.S. military aid to fight the FARC.
"The permanence of the conflict in time
To counter this evidence, Uribe would have to demonstrate:
- that the FARC are not the priority of the war in Colombia, and therefore would have no political significance or threaten the country's stability.
- the drug money that finances the FARC not tied to the purchase of weapons to attack the state, making ambushes military forces, maintain territorial control in the forest and mountains Colombia to demoralize the troops and undermine confidence in the government and the military.
"I should deny the existence of the Patriot Plan which is an extension of Plan Colombia was created solely to attack the FARC.
-would have to demonstrate that he never said that the FARC are communists, or that the FARC have relations with the PCC or PC3, and that the FARC is the armed wing of the party. Because they claim it means accepting that the FARC has political objectives, including the state's destruction and theft of government. Would have to deny so many times said that the FARC are a threat to democracy.
Refer to the FARC as narco-bandits is a rather crude method to downplay the FARC as a political actor. Deny the political importance of the armed conflict in Colombia prevents finding a solution because no problem can be solved if you deny the reality.
