RUBIO STATEMENT ON COLOMBIANS’ REJECTION OF PEACE AGREEMENT
Miami, FL – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement today regarding the Colombian people’s rejection of the government’s peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC):
“The Colombian people have spoken through the democratic process, and the United States must respect their will and move forward in writing the next chapter of our strong alliance. Our nations were committed to a common security and economic agenda well before this vote, and now we must continue working together to achieve those goals. Our close military and economic alliance will endure and hopefully hasten a lasting peace in Colombia.
“Ultimately, it’s the Colombian people who will decide what an acceptable end to decades of conflict with the FARC should look like and, according to them, this agreement was not it. In the coming days, weeks and months ahead, it is my hope the lessons learned from the Colombian people through this process can be applied to eventually bring this conflict to a formal end.
“The FARC remains a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization, and is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands and the displacement of millions within Colombia. Any peace agreement with such an organization must have the backing of a majority of the Colombian people and be fair to the victims of the many atrocities committed by the FARC.”
PRONUNCIAMIENTO DEL SENADOR MARCO RUBIO SOBRE EL RECHAZO AL ACUERDO DE PAZ EN COLOMBIA
Miami, FL – El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió hoy la siguiente declaración con relación al rechazo del pueblo colombiano hacia el acuerdo de paz entre el gobierno con las FARC:
“Los colombianos se han manifestado a través del proceso democrático, y los Estados Unidos debe respetar su voluntad y avanzar al escribir el próximo capítulo de nuestra alianza. Nuestras naciones ya estaban comprometidas con una misma agenda sobre la seguridad y la economía mucho antes de que esta votación tuviera lugar, y ahora hay que seguir trabajando juntos para alcanzar dichos objetivos. Nuestros paises mantienen una alianza militar y económica muy estrecha, la cual espero que ayude a lograr una paz duradera en Colombia.
“En última instancia, es el pueblo colombiano el que decidirá lo que será aceptable para poner fin a décadas de conflicto con las FARC y, según ellos, este acuerdo no lo es. Tengo la esperanza que en los próximos días, semanas y meses, las lecciones aprendidas del pueblo colombiano a través de este proceso se puedan aplicar para llevar finalmente este conflicto a su culminación.
“Las FARC continua siendo una organización designada terrorista por los Estados Unidos, y es responsable por la muerte de cientos de miles y el desplazamiento de millones de colombianos. Cualquier acuerdo de paz con dicha organización debe contar con el respaldo de la mayoría de los colombianos y ser justo con las víctimas que han sufrido atrocidades cometidas por las FARC”.
