Colombia’s largest rebel group, the FARC, wants guaranteed seats in Congress and regional legislative bodies as soon as peace is signed with the government. The government said to support the idea.
The FARC proposal was made as part of a series of proposals on “End of Conflict,” one of the last points on the agenda of peace talks held in Havana, Cuba.
The guerrillas asked for direct inclusion to congress, provincial assemblies and city councils “for at least two terms” after which the FARC believes they will have the popular support to be elected into the legislative bodies.
