Santrich, or Seuxis Pausias Hernandez Solarte 
<https://www.telesurenglish.net/news/Jesus-Santrich-Given-Interpol-Red-Notice-20190822-0009.html>, 
wrote a new statement on behalf of the dissidents of the demobilized 
insurgent group FARC-EP, now converted into a Common Revolutionary 
Alternative Force (FARC) political party, whose video was exclusively 
accessed by the Russian news agency Sputnik.

In the statement disclosed on Sputnik’s website, he says that the 
Colombian president “assures without flinching that what he did not 
sign, does not oblige him, ignoring that the agreement was signed with 
the State”.

"The State that does not respect its commitments does not deserve the 
respect of the International Community, nor of its own people," said the 
dissident leader.

He stressed that the objective of the FARC sector that was rearmed "is 
not the soldier or the police officer, the officer or the 
non-commissioned officer respectful of popular interests, but the 
oligarchy," which he described as "corrupt, mafia and violent."

He said that they will "immediately" seek to coordinate efforts with the 
insurgent National Liberation Army (ELN) "and with those comrades who 
have not folded the flags that fly for the homeland."

He said his intention is to install a transitional government product of 
"a great coalition of forces, social justice and democracy that calls 
for a new peace dialogue."

In November 2016, the FARC signed a peace agreement with the Government 
of then-President Juan Manuel Santos, to end an internal armed conflict 
of more than 50 years, however, during this time more than 150 
ex-combatants and around 500 Colombian social leaders were killed.
