Tensions are running high in Colombia six years after the signature of the historic Peace Agreement in 2016. This year, the Colombian people are tasked with electing a new parliament and president, in an electoral round that will prove critical for the prospect of reconciling a nation marked by the lasting legacies of war. Colombia’s democratic processes appear to be rupturing much of the social fabric that the 2016 Agreement sought to repair with its truth- and justice-seeking institutions. Amidst rising polarisation, a lack of popular confidence in the state and its institutions, and an electoral agenda permeated by long-standing antagonism, Colombia’s social cohesion is dangerously fragile.
