As it stands, three members of the Farc des dix who initially aspired to take office as parliamentarians of this party on July 20, the day of the installation of the new Congress, will not do so for reasons different. 19659002] The first is Iván Márquez, the second party of the former guerrilla and who was to occupy a seat in the Senate. Since April, after the capture of former guerrilla leader Jesús Santrich, accused of conspiring to send cocaine to the United States, he remains in Miravalle, a village of San Vicente del Caguán, Caquetá.
Yesterday, a letter was revealed. Márquez announced "three insurmountable circumstances" that he believes should assume his position as a senator this Friday. One of them is precisely the absence of guarantees in the Santrich case .
For Márquez "the judicial assembly fabricated by the Prosecutor and the DEA who unfairly behind bars now Jesus Santrich and between life and death in the peace process."
The second reason for "this awesome disfigurement of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace makes it unrecognizable, compared to the original text signed by the parties in Havana."
And, thirdly, Márquez He states that "there is nowhere the determination to abide by the essential issues of agreement such as political reform, without which it is not necessary". There would be no conditions for the transition from rebellion to legal policy. "
Although former guerrilla leader thanked votes, as former presidential candidate Gustavo Petro, who had invited him to take office, he spoke of "treason" "of the state as agreed.
Modestly, I think it is premature to say that Ivan Márquez refused to assume the role of senator
"That the Santrich affair and the perfidy of the 39, state to the peace agreement do not become the trigger of a return to confrontation. We can not let the bread burn at the oven door "concludes the l & # 39, ex-head of the FARC delegation in the dialogues of Havana in his letter.
However, within the FARC party, what Marquez says does not mean a categorical resignation from his seat, but a mere denunciation of the absence of guarantees. In the opinion of several members of the former guerrillas, there is still a chance that he will
In fact, Enrique Santiago, FARC's legal adviser, hopes that Marquez will change d & # 39; opinion.
" Modestly, I think it is premature to say that Ivan Márquez refused to take up his duties as a senator. From the published letter, I infer that Márquez understands that & # 39; Today, there are no conditions to assume, but in the coming hours conditions could be created if there is a will of all, "said this Spanish lawyer.
The same thing awaits Jairo Estrada, director of the Farc Political Committee and to whom Márquez thanked him for insisting that he sit in the Senate. Estrada added that Márquez does not think of returning to the armed struggle, but, on the contrary, "pledges to implement what has been agreed."
In any case, with the resignation of Márquez to occupy his seat of senator, in his place would assume Israel Alberto Zúñiga Iriarte, known under the name of "Benkos Biohó".
This, because this former guerrilla leader, with 20 years inside the Farc and who commanded the 34 front that operated in Urabá, was the sixth name on the Senate list that was presented this party in the last congressional elections. .
Pablo Catatumbo, Carlos Antonio Lozada, Sandra Ramirez and Victoria Sandino will be the other four senators that the party will have, according to the peace agreement that granted the former guerrillas five seats in the Senate and five others in the House.
The House Affairs
Santrich, who aspires to take office as a representative in the House by the Atlantic, is the other case. Because he is detained at La Picota prison after being asked for extradition, the call to occupy his seat is Benedicto González, since he was the second on the list that the former guerrilla party has presented to this department.
Gónzalez, known during the conflict as "Alirio Córdoba", was the political leader of the Caribbean bloc "Martín Caballero". As Santrich's lawyer, Gustavo Gallardo, he claims that this former guerrilla leader "has no legal impediments in Colombia" to take office next Friday.
Similarly, two sources of the FARC confirmed to El TIEMPO that Byron Yepes, due to illness, would not take office at his representative's seat in the Bogotá House.
He will be replaced by Carlos Alberto Carreño Marín, known as "Sergio Marín", the second on the list of this company that presented the former guerrilla of the capital in the last elections legislative. He studied economics at the National University, was a Farc activist for 22 years and was also part of the ex-guerrilla delegation in the Havana dialogues.
Future members of FARC are still waiting The National Electoral Council gives them their respective credentials so that they can attend the act of possession on July 20th.
