"I accept it, not in my own name, but in the name of all Colombians, especially the millions of victims," said President Santos.

Parody had taken the lead role in promoting the "Si" campaign to ratify the President Santos' peace deal.

Today, in a popular referendum, Colombians voted to reject a peace accord that was set to end 52 years of war with the FARC.
