Sarkozy: The FARC should remain in list of terrorists
French President Nicolas Sarkozy Monday stated that Europe
should continue to view the rebel Colombian Revolutionary
Armed Forces (FARC) as a terrorist organization, thus rejecting
a proposal made by Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez.
"France continues to support the stance of the European Community
concerning the description of the FARC" as a terrorist organization,
Sarkozy told President Álvaro Uribe, who is paying an
official visit to France, according to the spokesman of the
French ruler, David Martinon.
"From France's standpoint, this issue will only be reconsidered
if there is a change in behavior by the FARC," Sarkozy said.
