Some sources have reported that Márquez was in a center prepared for the reintegration of warriors since the 2016 peace agreement. In the same situation were Hernán Darío Velásquez and Henry Castellanos. All three are missing.

Márquez revealed that he was in a center in the department of Caqueta in Colombia with Velasquez since the arrest on April 9 of the former leader of the FARC, Jesús Santrich, which severely strained the peace process. Castellanos was in a house in the department of Meta for security reasons.

In Márquez’s case, Lozada explains on the radio Caracol that several scoundrels with their faces covered went to his house. According to the website Kaos en la Red, this persecution could cause the former guerrilla fighter to be stored somewhere where there is no telephone signal.

This decision, in any case, does not mean that there is a possibility that certain members of the FARC may return to arms as indicated by Lozada. He reiterates that the withdrawal of the centres prepared for the guerrillas is related to security reasons.

It is also known that the main body of the FARC will hold a meeting and it is expected that the 111 members of this council will attend, among them, Márquez, Castellanos and Velásquez.
