Editing 19th of April Movement (section)

=== First peace talks ===
During the government of [[Belisario Betancur]] (1982–1986), [[Jaime Bateman Cayón]], by then top leader of the M-19, proposed a meeting in Panama with the Colombian government toward solving the conflict. But Bateman died on 28 April 1983 in an airplane accident, apparently while on the way to Panama, and the negotiations were suspended.

The negotiations culminated with the Agreements of [[Corinto, Cauca]]. A ceasefire was agreed, as well as the continuation of dialogue for the future demobilization of the guerrilla detachment. Nevertheless, sectors of the army opposed to the agreements of [[History of FARC#La Uribe Agreement and Union Patriótica|La Uribe]] and Corinto were responsible for attacks against the life of main leaders [[Iván Marino Ospina]], [[Antonio Navarro Wolff]], [[Carlos Pizarro]], Marcos Chalita, etc.
