Sumario:The peace agreement of 2016 was received with substantial indifference by a large part of the Colombian population. This article suggests that the aforementioned indifference is related to rooted fractures in the Colombian Society. Four thesis against indifference are put  as follows: (i) the limitations of the peace agreement do not alter its potential for change; (ii) pressure from the civil society and the public can hold those in power accountable for the realisation of the peace  agreement; (iii) the civil society and the public can appropriate the peace process and have a positive incidence in the peacebuilding; (iv) peacebuilding is the opportunity of not only to build peace, but also to newly shape a more diverse, inclusive, democratic, dignifying and environmentally-conscious Colombia.
