COLOMBIA: Farc drives a wedge in opposition Polo
The left-wing opposition Polo Democrático Alternativo (PDA) is embroiled in
its most serious internal dispute since its formation last year which is
threatening to undermine not just its credibility before the regional elections
on 28 October but also its performance then and in the next presidential
elections in 2010. The cause of the friction is the Fuerzas Armadas
Revolucionarias de Colombia (Farc) and its fierce verbal exchanges with PDA
Senator Gustavo Petro, best known for his searing attacks on President Alvaro
Uribe and his exposure of the parapolitical scandal.
