The Colombian armed conflict is the longest conflict in America. In September 2016, the first Peace Agreement between the Government of Juan Manuel Santos and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) was signed. In order to endorse the Peace Agreement by all Colombians, President Santos called a Plebiscite last October 2016. The agreement was not endorsed by 50.22% of Colombians, but the great winner of the day was abstention that reached 62%. At present, there is no consensus on the causes of the armed conflict, nor on the possible paths to peace, which is why the country is divided on the possibilities of dialogue. The lack of consensus around the peace process, led to a poor political discussion, characterized by lack of clear arguments or explanations about the good and bad points of the peace agreement. The last political campaigns were focused more on the feelings of hope and fear generated by the peace process, without further discussions on the main issues of the process. In the midst of political campaigns that prioritize emotions rather than rational arguments, how can we build paths of peace that help reconciliation between the various actors in the conflict?
