Abstract

This paper reflects on who was sent the money and power accumulated by the self-defense groups of Colombia, and which presents some results concerning the companies and farmers who supported the rise and now seem to be the main beneficiaries of the situation. From that experience alone were as prejudiced as ever the farmers, owners of small parcels and thousands displaced.
