D’mar Córdoba, a journalist and lawyer critical of Colombia’s peace agreement, has been appointed to lead the Center of Memory. Córdoba has publicly downplayed the scale and severity of the Colombian conflict, referring to it as a “narrative” favoring the former FARC guerilla group. This appointment has sparked controversy, given the Center’s mandate to preserve the memory of the conflict’s victims and promote reconciliation. Critics argue that entrusting the organization to someone who denies the conflict’s impact undermines its purpose. Córdoba's past statements demonstrate skepticism towards the official account of the decades-long armed conflict. The decision raises questions about the government’s commitment to truth and reconciliation efforts. The appointment is likely to further polarize opinion on the peace process in Colombia.
