Peace Process Between the Government of Colombia and ELN on the Verge of Collapse - Telesur English
Article
The Government’s chief negotiator, Vera Grabe, said that they will continue to persist in peace as a cry from the territories.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro urged the National Liberation Army (ELN) on Thursday to abandon acts of violence if it really intends to continue with the peace process.
Through the social network X, Petro wrote that if the ELN does not want to break the peace process say so. Do not be silent, that peace is to shout it and violence to bury it». In this way, the Colombian head of state responded to the words of the ELN leader, Antonio García. A peace process is broken if young people’s lives are broken and poor families suffer. If the ELN does not want to break the peace process, say so. Don’t be silent, that peace is for shouting and violence is for burying.
Amid the growing tensions between the Colombian government and the National Liberation Army (ELN), new statements are emerging that call into question the future of the peace process. The ELN commander, Antonio García, published a statement on his Telegram channel about the current situation.
According to García, despite the recent military operations against the ELN by the police and the military forces, the guerrilla organization does not consider the peace process to be broken. However, they point to President Gustavo Petro as the culprit of any potential break-up:
«The ELN has been subjected to military operations against it by the police and the FFMM, but we have never said that the peace process is broken. Who breaks is the President @petrogustavo with his statements», he stressed.
The top ELN leader said that the peace process between the government and the guerrillas is currently frozen, due to alleged breaches of agreements by the government of Gustavo Petro.
Further stresses that this situation has led to a stalemate in the negotiations and increased mistrust between the parties. A crucial point in the deterioration of relations was the non-extension of the ceasefire. In this context, and in search of solutions, the Minister of Defence and the Commander of the Military Forces ordered the resumption of offensive operations against the ELN.
Despite the resumption of military operations, sources suggest that it is still possible to continue the peace process: «Even in the midst of military operations peace processes can continue, that have done at various times different governments, now can not be the exception».
Last August, the ELN issued a statement in which it stated that if it was in the interest of the government to continue the peace process, also taking into account the political nature of the ELN and its status as an armed rebel organization, should be removed from the GCO list.

Brazilian Supreme Court Judge, Moraes, fines Twitter/X and Starlink R$5 million (Around 1 million USD) for attempting to “bypass” blockade
The punishment will be R$5 million per day for each company and will start to apply from Thursday (19). Minister speaks of “willful, illicit and persistent recalcitrance of platform X in complying with court orders”
Justice Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), ordered a new fine for X (formerly Twitter) and Starlink, both companies owned by billionaire Elon Musk, for allegedly trying to circumvent the blockade of the social network in Brazil imposed by the Judiciary.
The punishment will be R$5 million per day for each company and will start to apply from Thursday (19), but the Supreme Court will still define the period that the penalty will last - depending on how long X and Starlink continue to fail to comply with court decisions. Moraes’ decision was published as a “subpoena notice”, since X has no legal representative on national territory. This was, in fact, the main reason that led the STF minister to order the suspension of the platform in Brazil.
In his order, the magistrate summons X “to immediately suspend the use of its new accesses through the CDN servers Cloudfare, Fastly and Edgeuno and others like them, created to circumvent the judicial decision to block the platform in national territory, under penalty of a daily fine of R$5 million”.

“The Letter was Signed by Edmundo With his Own Pen”: Jorge Rodriguez to teleSUR - Telesur
The official noted that the Venezuelan government has documented that it was a negotiation between executive vice president Delcy Rodríguez and the Spanish government.
Article
In an interview with the multiplatform teleSUR, the president of the National Assembly of Venezuela, Jorge Rodríguez, gave details about the letter of recognition of former presidential candidate Edmundo González Urrutia towards the Venezuelan institutions and the presidential results of last July 28, and stated that the document González signed with his own pen.
On signing the letter, Rodriguez noted that (those involved in the process) “we had committed to keep in reserve the letter of Edmundo González Urrutia -former opposition candidate for the presidency of Venezuela-“.
The text marks a milestone from the headline, says Rodríguez, because “it is not recognizing either the Assembly of Guaidó or Dinora Figuera… , but recognizes the National Assembly that voted the people of Venezuela last December of 2020”.
This consensus is based, according to Rodríguez, on “a request he had made (Urrutia) and the Venezuelan government had no “problem” in maintaining “in reverse (the) document”, however, both González Urrutia and his lawyer violated that agreement.
The president of the National Assembly says that “from within the Venezuelan extreme right, the publication of a kind of transcription of the original letter appears”.
On the other hand, Rodríguez explains that only one demand was made in the delivery of the letter, consisting of González Urrutia leaving his signature on each sheet, so that it would not be pointed out later that the Venezuelan institutions had altered the content. The senior Venezuelan official also noted that the former candidate himself decided to hand it over to him.
“Some people close to him (Edmundo González Urrutia) contacted me and raised the possibility of having some exchanges with Mr González Urrutia for his intention to apply for political asylum in the Kingdom of Spain”, Rodriguez underlines referring to the processing of the departure of Edmundo González into Spanish soil.
The official states that, in principle, communication was established by means of a telephone call and then also contacted Urrutia directly via a telephone call, The President of the Assembly was asked to meet him on 6 September.
In addition, the official remarked on this line, referring to the political asylum process that the Venezuelan government has fully documented, which was a two-party negotiation: between executive vice president Delcy Rodríguez and the Spanish government.
The meeting led to Venezuela offering the necessary safe-conduct for the departure of Urrutia, as well as the approval for an aircraft of the Spanish air force to make the trip.
