OPINET COLUMN
would be difficult to get to question whether the mass marches against the FARC mark a complete break between the position of 'indifference' that had long been the Colombian population and the time awaited in which people manifest a total exhaustion and weariness against the conflict and its protagonists, especially with names such as has occurred. That will be to the extent that the momentum achieved in these times of 'effervescence and warmth' is renewed whenever necessary and not become the manifestation of rejection in a flower day. Under this perspective, we can say without doubt that the march of 4F - and subsequent, or other demonstrations against - will have its effect.
What is very clear is the meaning resulting from the protest and to explain it must be clear in the sense that at least five million people marched against the FARC on behalf of the entire country. The number of demonstrators, its social, racial, cultural, etc., And the various scenarios in which the protest took place, they realize a national phenomenon of unprecedented proportions. He left in the main cities but also in small and remote municipalities where even had direct organizers of the protest. Marched from the worshipful neighborhoods to the poorest people. Left people of all races and all professions, from people who have not learned to have greater access to education. Left people of all religious aspects and all political. The number of protesters
deserves special comment. Did not go the 22 million people who called the FARC (in a statement apocryphal) to feel alluded to and change their attitude. However, somewhere between five and ten million is a massive turnout because it is virtually impossible that all people come to the same site at the same time. There are about ten million children under twelve years, which should not be carrying these concentrations, nor be left alone - without the company of adults-at home.

There are hundreds of thousands of sick and elderly who could not attend. There are many people who live in places far removed from urban centers and there are millions who had to work and for whom there was no permission whatsoever to participate in the mobilization. To this are added the problems of transport to move as many people in so little time and the finite number of individuals that fit into a particular site, such as Plaza de Bolivar. But
issue is not only massive and diverse participation from all points of view, but the resounding and unmistakable message of outrage against the FARC, expressed through messages printed on T-shirts and banners or slogans chanted by the crowd.

This time, the Colombians did not turn out to suck paddle and enjoy music of 'Papayera' as in other marches where complaints were diluted in general calls to violence. Before, he was afraid of people speaking out against the guerrillas or numbered - at ease - to those who advocate a political agreement by the fallacy that the FARC were invincible and to end the lawsuit should be eligible for your needs.
And this is the main change from the start: the Colombian people have given a mandate for their dignity which is no longer willing to accept the blackmail of peace in exchange for what the terrorists want.

demobilize If the FARC are welcome, no more privileges within society if they remain in the bush, the Government has received support not just a task it has been doing to combat subversion but a true custom than by citizen mandate.
Finally, it is important to note the sad mistake in dropping some 'friends' of subversion, saying that hate and rejection will only lead to more war and close the door for a negotiated solution. Nothing has fueled more violence in Colombia that the social indifference and the absence of State, therefore, otherwise it can not produce more of the same. And it was the FARC that ended with his humiliation, any possibility that the Colombian people bend their necks again, as the Marxists seek accompanying outdated.

sabotage the march in Paris
The February 4 march in Paris as a meeting place was the Hotel de Ville, like saying the Alpujarra and the Plaza in Medellin Bolivar in Bogotá. On Friday, the family of Ingrid Betancur asked the mayor of Paris to cancel the march because it was "organized by the paramilitaries and the Colombian government." Given the Betancur family pressures, the mayor of Paris decided to change the meeting place and send to the Square of Chatelet. That is, we move from the Square Alpujarra Uribe Uribe or the Park Plaza de Bolivar in Bogota Journalist. All this is explained in the analogy so that you can get an idea of \u200b\u200bchange to which we were subjected missing only two days to go.
But one of the main reasons to change the site underway Chatelet is that there is a photo of Ingrid Betancourt and the one at the Hotel de Ville, where his family came to Give violated.
In the Place de Chatelet not have the same amenities: access is rather complicated because the four streets bordering the heavily traveled, so it could only go in circles, but in turn, it was not possible to do all at once .
Over time, many Colombians came to seek his countrymen lost in the previously established meeting point: the Hotel de Ville. But the police officers guarding the mayor of Paris (meeting place), had orders not to let anyone dressed in white or some piece of that color. Therefore
was almost impossible to prevent people who were arriving at the Hotel de Ville looking for other dealers. To this situation I decided to go to the Hotel de Ville to send the lost to the Place de Chatelet. On the way to see how the organizer and another girl were arrested by police said they could not go to the Hotel de Ville. I could go, fortunately, because he had a dark coat covering my shirt dunes.Within the Hotel de Ville I met many Colombians who were 'lost', and believed that the march was canceled. Many could speak but police would not allow people to come together there. I spent about an hour redirecting people to the Place de Chatelet. Then I went back to the place where I was happy to see Mr. Ambassador and a good retinue Colombian and French in the cold and rain conspired to say: NO TO THE FARC! LES NON FARC!
Everything seemed to be going very well until they got some French saying that we should not be there. In a moment I was so offended that I asked one of them if he knew what was suffered by a hostage, if you knew the pain of friends or relatives who were kidnapped a loved one. I asked him who he was and to my surprise, his response was: "I am the committee to support the family of Ingrid Betancourt." Everything seemed too obvious, because in France the polarization of the abduction issue passes through the hands of the Betancourt family.

In Paris the climate of the "run" (and write it in quotes because it was only a concentration) was full of contradictions between Colombian and French THANKS TO FAMILY BETANCUR.
today before you all want to denounce the manipulation that has the family of Ingrid Betancourt on the media in France, notably in Paris ...
