Curules de Paz

Here begins Peace Frequency in harmony with the territories. A program of the mission of support to the process of Peace in Colombia, Mapoea. Angela, Angela come here. My daughter, good afternoon, how are you? We haven't talked for a while. What else, Mrs. Carmenza? What time is it? Why are all those meetings that I see her attending here in La Vereda? That is for the issue of peace special transit circunstrictions. Peace curules. Have you heard of that, my daughter? Oh, Mrs. Carmenza, you know that that of the elections is more than the same. I no longer believe that vain politics. Look Angela, I understand your distrust, but this election is historical. It is something that had not happened before. It is the first time that the victims of the armed conflict will have a direct voice in Congress. It will also increase the participation of rural communities that we have been most affected by violence. Ah, I imagine the politicians of the big cities looking to choose the name of the victims. No, this is a very different process in which 167 municipalities in 16 regions of the country participate. In each of those regions they will choose one or one representative for the Congress. Yes, and why? Because our municipality is part of one of those 16 regions that have suffered because of the armed conflict, like so many others. Mrs. Carmenza, well, I don't know. That's why it is also said that those curules are going to be taken by the combatants. No, my daughter, that is pure crap. In that process, there cannot be candidates or candidates who have left their weapons in the last 20 years. They cannot aspire to those who have tried to occupy public positions for a traditional party. This is new for people who want to make peace. Ah, with so many things that are said about those curules, one does not know what to think. Oh, my daughter, there are so many myths about the curules of peace. Better invite her to a community forum that we are going to do tomorrow to talk about the topic. There are going to be several people and the people of the map OEA, an international mission that is following this process. Make a pass and listen. There we can solve all the doubts. Well, I trust you and your leadership. So I'm going to that meeting. Tell me, see you there. Good afternoon to all and to all. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. We are here to enjoy a sancocho de gallina bien rico, while we solve doubts about the curules of peace. Before we start, I want to introduce you to Roberto Menendez, head of the map OEA in Colombia. Hello, good afternoon to all and to all. It is a pleasure to be here and to be able to share with you. Thank you very much for this opportunity, Mr. Carmen, Mr. Roberto. I would like to know what is the importance of these curules and why they are so different from the rest of the Congress. Angela, thank you very much. As I told you yesterday, with these elections we, the victims, we are going to be able to be represented in the Congress, where the laws are made. These 16 people elected will be voters and voters of 167 of the PDP municipalities, of the program "Acordados" and the framework of the peace agreement, and they will have to promote the necessary legislative changes to advance in the construction of peace. And how are you going to guarantee that women can be elected? My daughter, that's a great question. The lists for the curules of peace will be mandatory. That is to say, in each list there has to be a woman and a man. And their mercy can be voted by the woman or by the man, not necessarily by the person who is first on the list. And how do you do to vote? Juan, everything you need to be inscribed happens in one of the positions that were enabled to vote. But be careful, the elections will take place in the rural areas, of 167 municipalities. Not in the municipal heads. Imagine, the state created new voting places where there was no before. This means that they will be able to vote people who had never done it before. And all the people who have their seat inscribed in these rural places can vote. It doesn't matter if they are or they are not victims of violence. To know which is their closest position, we remind you to get closer to the points of attention and to register through the website. Comrade Carmenza, and when is the election? Mrs. Liliana, the election is this March 13th, along with the normal seats and cameras. In other words, in these positions, in addition to all the cards of always, they will give us an additional card for this curule of peace. Remember that they are officially called Translatorial Circumstitions of Peace. Good Mr. Roberto, and why is it so important to participate in this process? Look, Juan, with that vote you contribute to democracy. And democracy is the basis of the construction of peace. That is why participating in this process is a fundamental step to achieve the complete peace that this country needs so much. With these curules, communities like Villa Esperanza will have a direct voice in Congress, where decisions are taken about public policies, priorities, assumptions and fundamental issues for the country are discussed. Mr. Roberto, I did not believe in the usefulness of these elections for the people, but with what they told us today, I put on the shirt so that the community of Villa Esperanza vote for the curules of peace. Let's participate. Yes, let's participate. Long live Villa Esperanza and the curules of peace. Long live! For the OEA map, it is essential that the rural communities in Colombia participate in democratic processes. That's why it encourages candidates, leaders and other ethnic and territorial authorities to promote in their territories the participation in the curules of peace for the construction of a complete peace. End of today. Peace Frequency in Sintonía with the Territories. A program of the mission of support to the process of peace in Colombia, map OEA. Listen to us in our next mission. The implementation of this program is possible thanks to the support of Germany, Canada, Spain, the United States, Low Countries, the United Kingdom and Sweden. Its contents do not compromise the position of the Organization of the American States nor of any of its member countries and donors countries. [BLANK_AUDIO]
