Majority of urban Colombia to vote in favor of peace with FARC
written by Adriaan Alsema July 5, 2016
A comfortable majority of urban Colombians will vote in favor of a peace deal currently being negotiated with their country’s largest rebel group, the FARC, according to a poll.
Pollster Cifras & Conceptos asked almost 1,600 Colombians in the country’s five largest cities about their opinion on the peace talks that formally began in 2012 and are expected to finalize within weeks.
The Colombian people will be asked to ratify the deal through a mechanism that is currently being defined by the Constitutional Court.
According to Cifras & Conceptos, 74% of Colombians said to ratify the deal. A minority of 19% said to reject a deal with the FARC rebels and 7% has yet to make up his or her mind.
