La reflexión sobre la participación política de la FARC en el ámbito nacional se basa en los aportes de la literatura especializada en reincorporación política y en los resultados electorales para el Congreso de 2018. A través del software Arcgis se analizan los niveles de votación por la FARC en relación con la presencia de grupos armados, economías criminales y el asesinato de líderes, variables determinantes del bajo o alto apoyo electoral. Con la suma de estos elementos, esta investigación identifica varios factores institucionales y no institucionales que han incidido en la reincorporación política de las FARC-EP. Se subraya cómo, aunque las provisiones políticas para el acceso transitorio de la FARC a curules en el Congreso resultaron razonables para lograr una salida negociada a la guerra, la baja votación por el nuevo partido revela un futuro incierto para su continuidad, a pesar de las oportunidades electorales establecidas por el Acuerdo de final.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract This article examines the achievements and challenges of the political participation of the Common Alternative Revolutionary Force (FARC) in the context of the electoral dynamics and evolution of the armed conflict and violence. The reflection about the political participation of the FARC party at the national level is based on the contributions of specialized literature on political reincorporation, and on the 2018 Congress election results. Through the software ArcGis it analyzes the amount of votes obtained by the FARC in relation to decisive variables of the low or high electoral support, such as the presence of armed groups, criminal economies and the killings of leaders. By summarizing these elements, this research identifies various institutional and non-institutional factors that have influenced the political reincorporation of the FARC-EP. The analysis will underscore that, allthough political provisions for the transitory access of the FARC party to seats in the Congress were reasonable in order to achieve a negotiated solution to war, a low vote level for the new party reveals an uncertain future for its continuity in spite of electoral opportunities set by the Final Peace Agreement.]]></p></abstract>
