        CIDOB split into two factions: CIDOB Orgánica ("grassroots" or "organic CIDOB") and CIDOB Paralela ("parallel CIDOB," as described by the former) in 2012. woborders.blog/2012/07/10/divides-smoke-and-mirrors/

          Parallel CIDOB leader Pedro Vare dismisses the fires: "It's a phenomemon that generally happens every year; this year it is being exaggerated by the media."
