• Description

  This agreement designates a safe camp for the Frente Francisco Garnica during the negotiations. The conditions/topics to discuss to achieve the goal of demobilisation are economic and social reinsertion (incl. health, housing, work projects and technical assistance), education, legal aid, security, a peace monument, and ‘favorabilidad política’ which I translate as a favourable political environment perhaps for the consideration of their concerns or creation of political parties. Finally, they are asking for the inclusion of the Catholic Church as moral guarantor in the process of negotiations.
