Uribe proposes compromises with FARC already in Colombia peace deal
Uribe proposes compromises with FARC already in Colombia peace deal
written by Brian Levesque October 4, 2016
In his first contribution to a peace deal between Colombia’s government and FARC rebels, former President Alvaro Uribe made proposals already agreed to in a signed pact he helped sink in a referendum on Sunday.
His first proposal was to grant amnesty to rank-and-file guerrillas, something already agreed on by the FARC and the administration of President Juan Manuel Santos.
Uribe also said he wanted judicial aid for members of the security forces on trial for crimes committed in the conflict. However, this is already government policy unrelated to the peace accord with the guerrillas.

Uribe’s brother is already in jail for allegedly forming a paramilitary group in the 1980s and his cousin, a former senator, was sentenced to prison for conspiring with paramilitary death squads for his political benefit.
