This is how processes began to be carried out, such as that of the Congress of the Republic, with the adjustment of the legal framework established since 1997, with which, the national government He was able to enter into negotiations with the organizations based on their political character and later demobilize the gangs.

However, the latter group denied the president.

In fact, we knew that the national army he succeeded in dismantling a finance commission of the Manuel Vásquez Castaño front, a member of the National Liberation Army – ELN, a process that took place in the department of Cauca. After a crossfire in the clashes, the army managed to capture three members.
