History of Puerto Boyaca

"capital of Colombia counterinsurgency." In this context the AUC of Puerto Boyacá, as "successful" pilot project gunmen responsible for murder "graduated" as Luis Carlos Galán in 1989, was a model that was extended to other regions of the country, funded by farmers and / or drug traffickers, and was the model for narco paramilitary groups gained prominence nationally since the 90.

By 1987-88 the need and concern of establishing a status quo and to do endure a moral order won by the paramilitaries unleashed a frontal war with the Medellin cartel, which sought to control drug production and step in forests of the Magdalena Medio. The self-defense now had to be financed but not against the guerrillas against groups led by a bonnet, had to go to the same sources of funding for groups that were fighting, resisting divisions and factions that destabilized the order and inevitably to raise new strategies. No doubt this term influyento the meaning and purpose of self-defense in Puerto Boyacá.

Talking about the history of Puerto Boyacá is talk of Colombian history, where violence has champlevé from different sides and in which violence and repression are the bra of the state order.
