Antioquia NGOs support FARC: intelligence

by Katharina Wecker May 13, 2009

Several political organizations, trade unions and social and human rights
groups in Antioquia are tied to the political arm of the FARC, a report
of the Colombia’s Prosecution and the Army says.

The report links political parties Alternative Democratic Pole (PDA) and Indigenous Social Alliance (ASI) to the PCCC, which the investigators say is the political arm of the FARC, IPC reported Wednesday.

Polo Democratico is one of the most prominent opposition parties in Colombia’s congress and the ASI backed Sergio Fajardo and Alonso Salazar when succesfully running to be mayor of Medellin. The indigenous group now supports Fajardo for the President election in 2010.

The report also lists NGOs, trade unions and youth movements as alleged members of the PCCC. Among those are the Corporation of Legal Liberty, the Sumapaz Corporation, the University Committee on Human Rights Gustavo Marulanda and the Peasant Association of Antioquia.
