The 297 pages of the agreement have a lot of juridical language that's really hard for non-eduacted people to understand. However; magazines, newspapers, tv commercials, YouTube channels, etc. made huge efforts to simplify and summarize the document for the average-joe. What's really interesting is that people in the major cities (where we're alien from war) voted to reject the agreement. In the marginal zones (where conflict occured/occurs) people voted to accept the agreement. The direct victims just want their towns to stop being bombed all the time, if FARC leaders get money or seats in the congress that is just a minor detail for them. If the government didn't care about people's opinion they would've just imposed the agreements and jump the plebiscite. I agree with you that the celebration shown in the news was political propaganda for the 'YES', but in no way that's passing over people's opinion. You don't want to tell your children that you have congressmen who commited many of the worse war crimes? In which country do you think we live in? This is already true, so adding FARC members to the congress in no way changes that. Also, FARC was only going to get 5 out of 102 seats in the senate and 5 out of 166 seats in the chamber of representatives. When M-19 and other rebel groups got their seats in the senate back in '91 they got 15 seats, and today we're not a socialist state. Also, compare this peace process with the ones in countries such as Nepal, Nigeria or Sudan. I mean, in Sierra Leon the rebels got the vicepresdiency, 4 ministries and 4 viceministries. You talk about brain drain in Colombia. The 'YES' won by a huge difference in the voting tables overseas. Following the logic that says that geniuses leave the country (which I believe it's true by the way), geniuses voted 'YES'. What's gonna happen next? Well, first of all we will see if FARC really has intentions of building peace or not. Second, an 'asamblea constituyente' will be built. This will not only prolong the peace process, but will ironically give more negotiating power to FARC.
