00:00Also in Colombia, the farmers arrived in Bogotá demanding compliance with the measures of reparation and delivery of lands announced by the Colombian executive,
00:07although they recognized important advances during the government of President Gustavo Petro in this matter.
00:13They claimed that the implemented institutions of the plants do not act with the required speed.
00:22Pizans from various regions of the country and who belong to the National Association of Pizan Users, ANUC, went to the Colombian capital.
00:28To the Ministry of Agriculture, where they carried out a protest action to demand that state entities speed up the execution of the collective reparation plan.
00:40We are already recognized as victims of the conflict.
00:44We have a collective reparation plan, and after 10 years we are at 33 percent, that is to say that to repair the ANUC we will need 20 more years.
00:51So here we are being re-victimized, but there are also institutions that are not committed and do not want to commit themselves.
00:58This organization was founded in 1971 working to defend and vindicate the rights of peasants.
01:12They have been victims of governmental and violent persecution by armed groups.
01:16They maintain that they strongly support the agrarian reform by President Gustavo Petro but their progress is truncated due to the limitations of the governmental agencies in charge of carrying out the reparation acts.
01:27Among them the Special Assets Society CE or the National Land Agency, they denounce irregularities.
01:32Officials also have a responsibility in the matter, they are not committed to what Petro wants to do with the agrarian reform.
01:45Likewise, today here they defend more the landowner, they defend more the one who has had his domain extinguished, even a great part of the extinguished land in this country is held by the same front men, but even more.
01:56Today they are evicting peasants to give the land to the mayors to do business.
02:06Among the peasant leaders arrived in the capital we find Mary Isabel victim of the conflict, displaced from the Department of Choco and President of the National Association of Peasant Users in this department.
02:18Demands that collective reparation be fulfilled in this department where these acts shine by their absence.
02:23The truth is that I feel that there is a rupture between the presidency of the Republic of my president, Gustavo Petro, with the agencies and the ministries with which they execute.
02:39So he says one thing but the institutionality does another, so we see that there is no coherence, and there is no dialogue between them that logically benefits the people, and this is felt much more in Choco, it is like a punishment for us.
02:50Despite this reality and a debt historically pending in Colombia, where violence has taken thousands of hectares from peasants and ethnic communities, this situation has been resolved.
03:09In the three years of the Petro government, more than 600,000 hectares have been handed over, far exceeding the figures of previous governments, which did not exceed 60,000 hectares.
