Ivan Marquez, supposed heir to the throne of the FARC,
is said to be behind the terrorist groups' efforts to 
infiltrate and radicalize the student movement. 

BOGOTA - According to the Colombian daily El Espectador, Colombian police announced that their intelligence services had uncovered evidence that the FARC has plans to influence student protests, particularly in Bogota, and to take advantage of a student protest march planned for this Thursday. 

According to official information, this situation is being investigated by the authorities to determine the scope of plans by the Clandestine Communist Party of Colombia, known as the PC3, and of orders by the FARC secretariat to infiltrate universities and its practice of distributing subversive propaganda in schools.

Among the files that were analyzed by authorities - there are several that were signed by Iván Márquez who is assumed to be the most likely successor to the recently killed terrorist leader 'Alfonso Cano'- which talks about a "massive mobilization" of students in Bogota and the call for several leftist organizations to go out and stop traffic in the city.

Additionally, intelligence agents found images which the FARC recently used as advertising and propaganda that it circulated in some public universities, along with advertising notices against Bill 30, which allows private investment in education and ends "autonomy" in universities - a centuries-old legal concept that has allowed overt recruitment of students and even takeovers of dorms by terrorist groups in Latin America.

Police called on students not to allow outsiders to take the opportunity to create chaos and destruction during what was supposed to be a peaceful march. In recent months, social networking has aided in the formation of worldwide protests by left-wing student groups from Israel to Spain to Chile and Colombia. 

The Santos administration has offered to withdraw Bill 30 if students dropped the protests, which have immobilized the Colombian capital several times.
