Antonio Navarro Wolff, former M-19 leader and 1991 Constituent, dies at 78

Antonio Navarro Wolff, a central figure in Colombia’s transition from armed conflict to democracy, died in Bogotá on Sunday, November 1, at 2:42 p.m. He was 78 years old, according to a statement from his family.

Navarro Wolff was a former commander of the M-19 guerrilla movement. He played a decisive role in the 1990 peace negotiations with the government of President Virgilio Barco, which led to the group's demobilization. He subsequently served as a co-president of the 1991 National Constituent Assembly alongside Horacio Serpa Uribe and Álvaro Gómez Hurtado, helping to draft the country's current constitution.

His extensive political career included serving as Minister of Health under President César Gaviria, Mayor of Pasto, Governor of Nariño, and as both a Senator and Representative to the Chamber. In his later years, he was a prominent leader within the Green Alliance (Alianza Verde).

Following his death, various political figures offered condolences, including former President Álvaro Uribe and Senator Iván Cepeda, noting his commitment to democratic processes and reconciliation.
