00:00In Medellín we are going to have our own Pentagon for Security.
00:04The mayor of Medellín posted about his visit to the construction site of the Medellín Pentagon.
00:08the C5I center for control, computing, communication and contact for citizens,
00:13which will house the shield of the Americas.
00:15Federico Gutiérrez is right to compare Colombia's most advanced security brain
00:20with the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense.
00:23Hello, I'm Ana Cristina Restrepo and this is my column for El Espectador this week.
00:27It is titled The Pentagon, on how to turn Colombia into a shooting range.
00:32The recent decisions made by the government of Abelardo de la Espriella
00:36They turn the country into a shooting range, whose targets multiply with each new announcement.
00:41At each vertex, the lines that preserve a violent status quo intersect.
00:45that cries out for domestication.
00:47US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is watching every detail.
00:51What are the five angles of this Pentagon?
00:541. Reposition the FARC brand.
00:56The governor of Antioquia, Andrés Julián Rendón, spares no effort or resources
01:01to recover the trademark that has given the Colombian right the most electoral victories.
01:06In the official discourse, the governor's office removed the prefix "dissidences".
01:12a deliberate act and charged with political violence towards the demobilized
01:17which acts as a political trigger and nullifies the peace process that was signed at the Teatro Colón
01:23and that he acknowledged the demands of the "no" voters in the plebiscite.
01:28Worlds are built through language.
01:31Around 85% of the signatories have fulfilled their commitments.
01:36This is confirmed by the tenth report of the Croc Institute at the University of Notre Dame.
01:42However, the mayor of Medellín and the new director of the National Center for Historical Memory,
01:47Dimar Córdoba, among other officials, are participating in the brand repositioning.
01:53The FARC dissidents never recognized the agreements or abandoned them.
01:57They are criminals who must be prosecuted with all the resources of the State.
02:02In contrast, the FARC guerrillas disappeared after negotiations.
02:062. End the false total peace.
02:10The policy of total peace was a failure.
02:12However, it did achieve partial victories that deserved to be continued.
02:16The Patria Milagro movement closed the dialogue table with the Southern Communes Front in Nariño.
02:21despite the fact that between 400 and 450 combatants were ready to return to civilian life.
02:29Not far away, the clearing of the temporary location area of the Guamués Valley, in Putumayo,
02:35It left 99 fighters from the border commandos in limbo.
02:39What path remains for those who have demonstrated their commitment to peace through their actions?
02:433. Walking among corpses.
02:45In his recent report, Violent Times, X-ray of Armed Power in Colombia,
02:50The Peace and Reconciliation Foundation warns
02:53The incidence of combat and reduction of armed presence is practically zero.
02:59This is verifiable in situations like that of Catatumbo or even in Argelia, Cauca,
03:04where there is no decrease in armed presence
03:07despite the sustained increase in the offensive by the public force.
03:11A president who parades himself among the dead like war trophies can have a media effect
03:16to show the enemy defeated, but the facts do not corroborate it.
03:214. Romanticizing armed decency.
03:23Stigmatizing students.
03:25While protocols are being announced for the entry of law enforcement into state universities
03:29with the previous remarks about the academic community as stated,
03:33Textbook authoritarianism: gun ownership is being relaxed for law-abiding citizens.
03:395. Freeze the resources of the ARN reintegration and normalization agency.
03:45Since August 21, the 53 billion that the ARN had for the remainder of 2026 have been frozen.
03:52This decision disrupts essential services for 15,500 people who laid down their weapons.
03:58and are transitioning towards civilian life, including 11,108 people who belonged to the FARC.
04:05From any angle you look at it, putting those five points together allows you to reconfigure 60 years of armed conflict.
04:12A pentagon drawn with lead.
04:14Thank you for listening.
04:25Thanks for watching the video.
