Demonstration against the FARC in Colombia

The general trend towards right positions is a mysterious wave that is sweeping the world. She just said so loud in Colombia.

Millions of demonstrators took to the streets of Bogotá and other cities to condemn Colombia's FARC left-wing guerrillas. The posters saying "No more FARC", "no

No to the FARC

A new phenomenon.

In the history of Colombia, there is no precedent for an event of this size. Hardly be found elsewhere. And what is striking is not only the size if not the type of people involved. This is an audience that mostly do not participate in political parties but who wants to express publicly their condemnation of leftist violence. A large proportion of them were young people. It was an awakening of public opinion as a whole. The young engineer who organized the march said: "We have defeated the indifference and fear."

The religious character of march against FARC

According to the newspaper "El Tiempo, Bogota, is a march that will go down in history. A puzzling phenomenon: "Politicians and sociologists used to generate the first mass movements and the latter to study these phenomena, are just beginning to digest it."

The globalization of repudiation

The Colombians opened a new era of social protest in the world. The globalization of repudiation.

The appeal against the FARC came to 193 cities in Colombia and the world. And there were millions of Colombians who came out to march.

For the Paris daily Le Monde, that cry that echoed around the world occurred in a country little prone to collective action. What becomes even more impressive progress.

After this categorical statement, the international acceptance of the FARC promoted by many zealous defenders of "human rights" will become much more difficult.
