The Democratic Center, in alliance with various political organizations and victims of the conflict, launched its own truth commission on Tuesday to “tell that other truth that the communist commission did not want to tell.”
The entity was baptized as the Civil Commission for the Clarification of the Truth and will have the basic information and testimonies of more than 10,000 ranchers victims of the conflict who will recount the scourges suffered by that population on behalf of the guerrilla and paramilitary groups.
The event was attended by politicians of the stature of the former candidate Ingrid Betancourt and the senator of the Democratic Center María Fernanda Cabal.
Said entity will serve as a kind of “counter-memory” for the report delivered by the Commission for the Clarification of the Truth that arose as a result of the Peace Agreement between the extinct FARC guerrillas and the government of Juan Manuel Santos.
From its beginnings, and until its culmination in 2022, the Commission received multiple criticisms for allegedly having a left-wing leaning and not listening to the members of the Public Force. This new entity promises to collect these testimonies and deliver a new report “more biased and on the side of the victims,” Cabal concluded.
