No Más - No More (2/2)
----------------------
This was the message conveyed on February 4 and received the world: Colombia is a country with a dynamic and mature citizenship. Able to leave en masse to the streets to repudiate named to an old and powerful armed organization that kills while talking and believes that the policy is gaining respectability by turning human beings into barter goods.

The mere fact that the march takes place and is a triumph.The country has always blows chest by the lack of massive protests against the barbarism of the past 20 years. And when compared with more marches like that of Spain against ETA cases much less dramatic tragedies Colombian.

It has been noticed both the emptiness of a protest of this kind, that the abducted from the jungle cries of distress send in their letters and last December, until the vice president implored Colombians to leave the streets.

Thus, the least ambitious of the scenarios, and will not lead to anything concrete, the way you can help the mental health of the country is catharsis of rage and hatred and relieved of the post of conscience not remain silent faced with cruelty.

In the case of Spain against ETA, for example, while the marches did little to prevent the death of a councilman, it gave an endorsement to the Spanish State to make its stronger counter-terrorism policy.

If the motion succeeds on monday consolidate a single message of rejection to the FARC, can become serious blow to the political struggle in this group murderer, its international image and its already non-existent social base. It would be clear to the world that his only source of power are the weapons and violence.

The photo was taken at the side of the Plaza de Bolivar in the city of Pereira. As far as the solemn march by thousands of citizens,There were contrasting elements too, as this old vehicle, finely painted with the colors of our national flag, decorated with balloons and flowers, and being pulled by ropes with a number of heads.

The self-esteem of being Colombian, manifests itself in this shirt full of balloons in its interior, with the message: COLOMBIA SOY YO (Colombia's me).
