The Truth Served at the Table

Much is spoken about truth, justice, reparation and non-repetition as progressive imperatives which govern the current Colombian peace negotiations between the Colombian government and the insurgent group FARC-EP seated at the negotiating table in Havana. This dynamic of the speech under constant tension suggests a necessary reflection on the truth of those negotiating, and particularly, on the future of the ex-combatants and their subjective bet, a place that calls for a social link that evidences and counterpose the master, the slave and the subversive, the latter a synonym for the search for liberty, equality and fraternity, three revolutionary imperatives that have guided the emancipatory movements.
