Colombia Is A Different Country Today. The

I Remember In 2000, When President Clinton Came To Cartagena Just Before Plan Colombia Started, The Country Was On The Verge Of Becoming A Failed State. Today, We Are One Of The Most Solid Democracies, Where Institutions Are Working, Where The Scandals Such As False Positives Have Come To Light Because Of Those Functioning Institutions.

I Would Never Accept General Impunity For The Guerrillas!

Right Here, In This Same Headquarters, 52 Years Ago, The Convention That Gave The Birth Certificate To The War On Drugs Was Approved.

I Practice Transcendental Meditation And I Had Enough Exercise. I Am One Who Thinks That Not Only Need To Have Patience, We Must Persevere. If You Do It Right You'll See Results.

My Generation Has Not Seen One Single Day Of Peace, And My Dream Is For My Children And The Children Of All Colombians To Have The Change To See It. I Hope The Guerrilla Understands That The Time Has Come To Leave This 50-year Confrontation Behind; That The Time Has Come To Change From Bullets To Votes, From Weapons To Argumentations; That The Time Has Come For Them To Continue Their Struggle, But Within Democracy.
