哥伦比亚选民在全民公投中出人意料地拒绝了政府与左派哥伦比亚革命武装力量签署的旨在结束52年内战的和平协议之后,哥伦比亚政治领袖正在寻找前进的方向。

桑托斯总统计划星期一同所有政党举行会晤,并下令他的谈判代表返回古巴哈瓦那。四年的和谈一直是在哈瓦那举行的。

选民们星期天以百分之50.2比 49.7的微弱多数,也就是仅以5万4千张选票的优势,拒绝了这项协议。投票前的民调预测,公投将以二比一的优势获得通过。

桑托斯总统和叛军领袖誓言要继续推动和平进程。但是,双方似乎没有后备方案,目前还不清楚他们将如何挽救这个协议。

Political leaders in Colombia are looking for a way forward after voters unexpectedly rejected a peace deal with leftist FARC rebels that would have ended a 52-year-old war.

President Juan Manuel Santos plans to meet Monday with all political parties and has ordered his negotiators to return to Havana, Cuba, where four years of peace talks had taken place.

Voters narrowly rejected the deal 50.2 percent to 49.7, or by a margin of just 54,000 votes. Public opinion polls going into Sunday's voting forecast the referendum would pass by a two-to-one margin.

Santos and rebel leaders are vowing to push ahead with the peace process, though it is unclear how they can save the deal since there appears to be no plan B.
