English/Español: Rubio: Removing the FARC From the List of Foreign Terrorist Organizations Risks Endangering Colombian and U.S. Security Interests
Miami, FL– U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement after receiving notice that the U.S. Department of State will remove The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) from the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO):
“Colombia has endured decades of pain and suffering because of the vicious terrorist attacks spearheaded by the FARC,” Rubio said. “The Biden Administration’s decision to remove the FARC from the Foreign Terrorist Organization list risks emboldening narcoterrorists and the regimes that sponsor them throughout our region. Congress must hold hearings on this decision to examine what it means for stability in the hemisphere, as well as U.S. and Colombian security interests.”
Rubio is the Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women’s Issues.

“Colombia ha soportado décadas de dolor y sufrimiento a manos de los atroces ataques terroristas encabezados por las FARC”, Rubio dijo. “La decisión de la administración Biden de quitar a las FARC de la lista de organizaciones terroristas extranjeras corre el riesgo de incentivar a los narcoterroristas y los regímenes que los patrocinan en toda nuestra región. El Congreso debe convocar audiencias sobre esta decisión para examinar lo que significa para la estabilidad del hemisferio, así como los intereses de seguridad de EE.UU. y de Colombia”.
Rubio es el Miembro de Más Alto Rango del Subcomité sobre Hemisferio Occidental, Crimen Transnacional, Seguridad Civil, Democracia, DDHH y Asuntos Globales de la Mujer.
