Dissidence of the extinct FARC announces willingness to dialogue with the Government of Petro

The Second Marquetalia pointed out that “it is time to give future generations the possibility of living in peace.”

The Guerrilla Coordinator of the Pacific Segunda Marquetalia, one of the dissidents of the former Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), reiterated this Friday that it is open to dialogue with the government of Gustavo Petro for the “total peace” agreement sought by the leftist leader.

Likewise, the group named the guerrillas Walter Mendoza, Ivan Ali and Yurleni Guerrero, and “others who would join the table later” as interlocutors with the State, reported El Espectador.

“The FARC-EP, Segunda Marquetalia, will be ready to start peace talks with the government, once the exploratory talks that are being carried out for this purpose are concluded,” they said in a statement entitled “Truce and Peace.”

In addition, they made a call to the social and political movement of the country, with a “special accent”, to the Armed Forces: “Let’s not lose or let lose this historic moment of Petro’s presidencywith the real possibility of political change to seal peace with social justice, true democracy and national sovereignty”.

“The Second Marquetalia called on other rival armed groups to cease hostilities and believe in President Gustavo Petro’s ‘total peace’ policy. The Government ratifies its commitment to dialogue with armed groups towards Colombia as a world power of life “, highlighted the High Commissioner for Peace.

This Thursday, the Segunda Marquetalia, a dissident faction of the former FARC, led by Ivan Marquez, issued a video in which they asked Ivan ‘Mordisco’, leader of another guerrilla block that emerged from that armed group, to cease the confrontations.

“We call on Mr. Ivan Lozada ‘Mordisco’ to stop the unnecessary war,” says the statement, dated December 27.
