Latin American Program in the News: Enrique Santos expressed concern about the slow pace of the peace process
While discussing the peace process in a presentation at the Wilson Center, Enrique Santos noted that if more progress hasn’t been made by Semana Santa, it will send a negative message about the peace process to the Colombian and international communities. (In Spanish)
El periodista Enrique Santos Calderón habló en Estados Unidos sobre el proceso de paz que adelanta en la Habana, Cuba, y se mostró preocupado por la lentitud en la mesa de negociación.
El reconocido columnista, quien participó en la mesa exploratoria de los diálogos con la guerrilla de las Farc, indicó que "si llegamos a Semana Santa y no se ha aprobado el primer subtema del punto agrario del mensaje sería muy negativo".
Santos, quien estuvo en el foro organizado por el Woodrow Wilson Center en Washington, también se pronunció sobre el acontecer político del país y el movimiento previo a las elecciones presidenciales y legislativas, donde el proceso de paz se podría ver afectado si toma fuerza el uribismo.
"Yo personalmente tengo la percepción de que Vargas Lleras no estaría tan jugado con este proceso de paz, por sus antecedentes, por su escepticismo ante las Farc, por todo lo que se ha pasado", acotó Enrique Santos.
