The Fuerza Alternativa Revolucionaria del Común ( German Alternative Revolutionary Force of Coexistence ) is a left-wing party in Colombia that was founded in 2017 as the successor organization to the social revolutionary guerrilla movement FARC .
The background to this is the peace process and the contract concluded between the FARC and the Colombian government, which ended the civil war in the country and, among other things, assured the FARC that it would be allowed to do legal political work. The party worked in an electoral alliance with the Partido Comunista Colombiano for the parliamentary elections in Colombia in 2018 .
A total of 40 members of the guerrilla organization were killed from the disarmament in autumn 2017 to February 2018. After attacks on its candidates, the FARC temporarily suspended its election campaign on February 9, 2018 in order to require the government to guarantee security; candidates from other parties were also affected by violence due to the hardened fronts. The FARC candidates traveled with bodyguards and police protection, but their own low expectations were reflected in rather small events.
According to the peace treaty, the party received ten guaranteed seats in Congress for the parliamentary elections in Colombia in 2018 - five seats each in the Upper House ( House of Representatives ) and five in the Lower House ( Senate of the Republic of Colombia ). The voting share on March 11, 2018 was less than one percent in the election - as a party a debacle that would not have been enough for regular seats.
