The revocation of the legal status of the Comunes party is a significant milestone in the Colombian political landscape. This decision by the National Electoral Council (CNE) comes after the legislative elections of March 8, where the party failed to surpass the 3% electoral threshold, essential to maintain its official status.
Despite its alliance with the Fuerza Ciudadana movement, Comunes only obtained 390,000 votes, well below the 584,000 required for the threshold.
This left them without representation in the Senate, where they previously held 10 seats, a direct concession from the State as part of the peace process. The electoral failure reflects their lack of popular support.
Ingrid Betancourt and Jaime Lozada, victims of kidnapping by the FARC guerrillas, spoke on NTN24's "El Punto Clave de la Noticia" (The Key Point of the News).
