Gladly. That is one of the favorite simplistic spins of the supporters of the FARC-Santos deal, when in reality it has little to do with the victims and a lot to do with internal colombian political structures. Most maps you will see supporting this idea mix together 'victims of conflict' without separating them between paramilitary/FARC or drug trafficking victims, so it would be inaccurate to conclude that the most areas affected by FARC violence were in favor of the deal. Add to that the states where Santos mobilized his political machinery to buy votes, which coincides more precisely with the states supporting the deal (http://www.elpais.com.co/elpais/colombia/proceso-paz/noticia...). For example, the state with most victims (Antioquia) voted overwhelmingly against (62.00%). To say that Antioquia, Santander, Norte de Santander, Risaralda, Caldas, QuindÃo, Tolima, Cundinamarca, Huila, Caquetá, Meta, Casanare and Arauca states saw little violence is just a lie and affront to their victims. |
