          Abstract

          RESUMEN Este artículo presenta una lectura sobre el Procedimiento Legislativo Especial para la Paz, conocido popularmente como fast track, y su papel dentro de la transición política colombiana. La lectura enfrenta la interpretación de que el fast track fue un mecanismo poco eficaz para la implementación legislativa del Acuerdo de Paz, e intenta explicar esto a través de dos puntos de análisis. El primero presenta la dificultad de implementar las reformas constitucionales que necesitaba el Acuerdo sin activar el poder constituyente originario, lo cual hizo necesario flexibilizar la Constitución para integrar los pilares del Acuerdo a la Carta Política. El segundo ahonda en el concepto de aporía constitucional, es decir en la dificultad lógica de reformar la Constitución a través de la distinción de competencia entre poder constituyente originario y derivado, y sus consecuencias en la rigidez y flexibilidad de la Constitución.

          ABSTRACT This paper presents a study about the special legislative procedure for peace, popularly known as fast track, and its role in the Colombian political transition. This study faces the interpretation that the fast track was an ineffective mechanism for the legislative implementation of the Peace Agreement, and attempts to explain this through two points of analysis. First, it presents the difficulty of implementing the constitutional amendments that the Agreement needed without activating the constituent power, which made it necessary to make the Constitution more flexible in order to integrate the pillars of the Agreement into the Constitution. Second, it explores the concept of constitutional aporia, that is the logical difficulty of reform the constitution through the categories of original and derived constituent power, and their consequences on the rigidity and flexibility of the Constitution.
