Although the Norwegian committee has pointed out that the award Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the President of Colombia, "for his determined efforts to bring to an end more than 50 years of war in Colombia", it is even more important that Oslo is aware that the award will serve "so that the peace process does not die after the failure of the referendum".

The political backing that the Nobel Prize represents is framed within the need to continue with the task of achieving peace through dialogue and national reconciliation, as pointed out by the Norwegian committee . Likewise, they consider it fundamental to "respect the ceasefire" between the Government and the FARC guerrilla, so that the political discussion can be broadened.

However, of greater social relevance is that the jury considers the award as "a tribute to the people of Colombia who, despite great difficulties and abuses, have not lost hope in a just peace". It is precisely to the Colombian people that President Santos has dedicated the Nobel Prize. In the telephone communication he had with the members of the committee he assured to be grateful from the bottom of his heart and "on behalf of all Colombians, especially to the victims. Millions of victims who have suffered with this war". He is referring, of course, to the 220 thousand dead and six million displaced during these 52 years of armed conflict, as well as to three generations of Colombians who still do not know what it means to live in peace.

With the Nobel Prize as sample of the international support to the peace process, talks between the different political forces in Colombia will continue, in view of a renegotiation that seems slow and convoluted. The status of political uncertainty in which the South American country is immersed, since last Sunday after the triumph of the "No" vote in the plebiscite, has led to dozens of hypotheses about the future of the country, with nothing clear on the horizon.

Thus, as has been the case throughout the week, while the different political forces begin to establish their first contacts to consider reneging on the agreements, the most important questions remain unresolved: Who will meet again with the FARC in Havana? What will be the demands and red lines of the civil service examination? How much longer will the process take? When will the FARC finally disband?

The Colombian president's will for peace was rewarded, but the most important question remains unresolved: Will there be peace?
