The Colombian Exile in Spain: Peace Dialogues, a Before and an Afte

However, the intervention in the political arena has implied high risks for a wide range of sectors of the population. This is specially evident with those from the political and social left, who have been the object of systematic pursuit, obliging them to take the road to exile. This paper starts with a short presentation of the Colombian exile as a study case. Secondly, it clarifies the relation between the concepts of exile and forced migrations. Afterwards, it deals with the difficulties to categorise the Colombians' forced migrations within the armed conflict context. The following section refers to the special programmes of protection for Colombians in Spain and it analyses the political militancy and participation characteristics of the exilees from this country left. The last part looks into the new participatory practices developed within the Peace Talks atmosphere, paying attention to the resources used to include their demands in the Peace Process. Finally, the essay suggests some possible tensions and concerns which can emerge in the future, as a collective, and outlines new research perspectives. A pesar de haber sido escenario de un prolongado conflicto interno, Colombia ha sido percibido como un país inequívocamente democrático, debido a no haber protagonizado gobiernos militares como los que predominaron en Latinoamérica durante buena parte del siglo XX. Sin embargo, la intervención en la arena política ha supuesto altos riesgos para vastos sectores de su población, principalmente aquellos asociados a la izquierda social y política, que han sido objeto de procesos de persecución sistemáticos que los han obligado a tomar el camino del exilio. En este trabajo, en primer lugar, se hace una breve presentación del exilio colombiano como caso de estudio. En segunda medida se esclarece la relación entre el concepto de exilio y la categoría de migraciones forzadas. Seguidamente se alude a las dificultades para clasificar la migración forzada de colombianos en el contexto del conflicto armado. A continuación, se hace referencia a los programas especiales de protección para colombianos en España y se analizan las características de la militancia y la participación política de los exiliados de la izquierda desde este país. En el último tramo se profundiza en las nuevas prácticas participativas surgidas en el ambiente de los Diálogos de Paz, denotando los recursos que han empleado para incluir sus demandas en Proceso de paz. Finalmente se sugieren posibles tensiones y preocupaciones que, como colectivo, en el futuro les pueden surgir y se proyectan nuevas perspectivas de investigación.
