Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos has said he will face major political problems if the Colombian people reject a peace agreement being negotiated with the Farc rebel group.
“I will be in serious difficulty,” he told the BBC’s HARDtalk programme, adding “But I am absolutely convinced that the overwhelming majority of the Colombians will support me.”
Government negotiators have been engaged in talks with the left-wing rebels in Cuba since November 2012.
