Stop overfitting.
You asked for an example and I gave it to you a valid one. McGuinness was an IRA leader and IRA committed many kind of crimes; there are more ex-IRA leaders that are now in the civil life.
If I give you another example you will discard it for some random reason, so this discussion makes no sense.
On the other hand, if you see the signed peace treaties in the region, and in the world, you'll notice that these have generally gone well.
Bye.

This was one of the parties that supported former president Uribe back then, so many people think that the "U" is for him. But in fact "De la U" is for "De la Unidad Nacional" (National Unity).
And yes, political awareness in Colombia is low. The abstention for this plebiscite was greater than 60%.
