Experiencias y vivencias de una vida política durante el Frente Nacional: entrevista a Luis Javier Duque, abogado y antiguo representante a la cámara por el partido Alianza Nacional Popular (ANAPO)

Abstract

That was in summary what the National Front was, an agreement between the traditional parties, with the aim of dividing up the positions of the three branches of public power millimetrically, so that there would be peace and tranquility in the country. After Pastrana, who had already properly finished the issue of the National Front, the one who won was the Liberal Alfonso López Michelsen through the MRL. This 16-year political regime surely did good for the country because it led to calming the spirits of a country that was in the midst of profound violence, but deep down, they also did things poorly, since it made it impossible for many others to political movements could arise, being a direct consequence of the emergence of the guerrillas, and in 1970 they tried to do things so that no one other than Misael Pastrana Borrero, who was considered a politician with little experience, would triumph.
