A new initiative for indigenous leaders in the Global South. 

The current situation in the country is dramatic: the pacific solution to our armed conflict is very close...and yet so fragile.

The analyses on the plebiscite have focused on explaining where and why the NO won. They have ignored the greatest worry: that the majority of voters did not vote

The massive march last Wednesday confirms that a wide bloc for peace is consolidating: students, indigenous people, farmers and citizens of all ages that converge on an expedited and reached by concesus peace, whether they voted on October 2nd or they voted in favor or against the accords.

What is wrong in a democracy where a clear majority stays at home on the day of the most important vote of a generation?

I write to women and men who in good faith believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ.

If the results of the plebiscite had been the opposite and the YES had won by a narrow margin, the implementation of the accord would have been politically very difficult in any case because we would have a similar political situation to the one today: a technical tie between the YES and the NO, mixed with a great rate of abstention and a great geographic and social diversity in voting.

The plebiscite breaks the political chess in the country.
