El Baile rojoThe Red Dance
Over the past 12 years, some 3000 members of the legally established political party, the Union Patriotica, have been systematically gunned down and no one has yet been accused or arrested. A political genocide with no parallel in modern times. Its code name: The Red Dance. The UP was created in the wake of the 1986 peace negotiations between the Colombian government and the leftist guerrilla organization FARC. The UP soon became the largest independent party in the country, placing, through popular elections, senators, congressmen, mayors and two presidential candidates. All these people were murdered. Now the UP is close to political extinction. Its surviving members live in fear and exile, wondering if they will be next to die.
