Rojas ask to Uribe and Farc for "flexible their position"

Politician Clara Rojas, who was recently freed by Colombian guerrilla group FARC, mentioned in Madrid the “example” that represents to Spain the coming of terms of Uribe and Farc “in spite of their political differences” in order to cope with world terrorism.



The former candidate to the vice presidency of Colombia was liberated a few days ago by the so-called Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) after a 6 years long captivity with still hostage ex-candidate to the office of President of Colombia Ingrid Betancourt. After arriving in Spain’s capital, she declared to local media that, before any further initiative can be taken, the guerrilla group must release its hostages. Rojas also said that dialog between parties is the best way to solve disputes.



In reference to Venezuela’s president Hugo Chavez proposition that Farc be considered a “belligerent and not a terrorist group”, she declared that it becomes necessary that Farc previously commits itself to set captives free and stop the ongoing violence.



While a prisoner, Rojas gave birth to a boy named Enmanuel but, due to conditions in the jungle where she was kept, her son got separated until he was found in a orphan center facility. Days before Rojas’s freedom, Colombian government broke the news that Enmanuel was under its custody and soon to reunite with his mother.



At the International IV Congress of Terrorist’s Victim held at Saint Paul University (CEU) in Madrid, affected people went by their stories and shared their experiences as such. Participants looked forward to have their loved ones liberated and disclosed to the world the terrible situation Colombian people was living because of violence due to terrorist groups.
