COLOMBIA: Getting ready for referendum on peace
Following endorsement by the Colombian constitutional court on 18 July, it is now likely that there will be a referendum on whether to accept or reject the government’s final peace accord with the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (Farc) within the next two to three months – possibly, according to a government minister, at the end of September. The news is intensifying the pace of Colombian politics: more than one politician is now thinking about the next presidential elections, which are not due until 2018.
