This paper is an essay on the speeches for justifying the FTA between the United States and Colombia, as uttered by outstanding representatives of the Colombian ruling class deeply engaged into that agreement process. The aim of this analysis is to point out the vanished political decision of giving privileges to the United States, besides reinforcing the already acquired privileges of a certain group into the very Colombian oligarchy. Methodologically it assumes the analysis of the discourse, understanding it as a semiotic code based on the interests of a group, and therefore producer of phrases that seek to endorse an ideology with a defined purpose. In this case a certain liberal ideology that tries to legitimate the technological powerlessness of the Colombian economy, and, besides, mask the agribusiness like the solution to such a powerlessness. In likewise manner, this paper aims to present the speech on the pedagogic-technical seizing of the foreign demand opportunities, does legitimate the orientation of the agribusiness towards the tropical fruits production, by leaving the basic feed for the food sovereignty under the United States control.

Keywords : FTA; United States; Colombia; Oligarchy; Ideology.
