In Colombia, the ELN announces the freezing of peace talks. The ELN guerrilla said on Wednesday that it was in “open crisis” with the Colombian government.
Gustavo Petro, the first left-wing president in Colombia's history, has begun talks with the main armed groups operating in the country. Several rounds of negotiations have already taken place in Venezuela, Mexico and Cuba, which act as guarantors with the governments of Brazil, Chile and Norway. Added to these countries are Germany, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, which are accompanying the talks.
