Santos scores twice in one week
It seemed that President Juan Manuel Santos’s honeymoon with Colombian public opinion was heading for a rough patch; his right-wing detractors were gaining strength ahead of the 30 October regional elections, expressing concern over what they deemed was a rapid deterioration of the country’s security situation. The argument was simple: as President Santos concentrated on social issues, he was taking the eye off the ball in the state’s fight against the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (Farc), which would allow the Farc to strengthen again and renew its call for peace talks in which it would still have enough strength to make demands.
