Pastor Alape confirmed the decision of the former FARC commanders after August 7: “In order to be able to work for a different country”

Pastor Alape, a member of the former FARC-EP secretariat, has confirmed that the group's ex-commanders have reached a decision regarding their future actions following the August 7 presidential inauguration. Alape stated that this decision was made in an effort to work toward a different vision for the country.

The announcement follows a period of public friction between the members of the former FARC-EP secretariat and the president-elect, Abelardo de la Espriella. The tensions emerged in the wake of the lawyer’s victory in the recent presidential elections, prompting the group to define its position as the new administration prepares to take office.
