Former FARC peace signers vow to stay in Colombia after Abelardo de la Espriña's win

Abelardo de la Espriña Pastor Alape 2016 Colombian peace accord Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz Rodrigo Londoño

Pastor Alape, a former member of the disbanded FARC guerrilla, told reporters in Bogotá that the individuals who signed the 2016 Colombian peace agreement will not seek asylum abroad and will remain in the country to defend the accords. He emphasized a commitment to the Constitution and a non‑violent, institutional path, rejecting any return to arms. The statements were made at a gathering of about one hundred participants, including members of the Comunes party that emerged from the Havana peace talks.

The remarks come as president‑elect Abelardo de la Espriña prepares to assume office and has publicly criticized the peace process, calling former FARC commander Rodrigo Londoño deserving of life imprisonment, questioning the effectiveness of the Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz (JEP), and announcing the removal of the peace commission.
