Spanish term or phrase: al accionar de
Bajo esta lógica, y sabiendo que las decisiones sobre Política Pública de este Gobierno se sustentan sobre una posición en la cual la “recuperación de la seguridad conduce al mejoramiento progresivo de todas las condiciones de vida de los Colombianos”, preocupa profundamente que los temas económicos, sociales, políticos, culturales y de defensa de los derechos humanos, puedan estar supeditados a la mitigación de la “amenaza terrorista” como se ha denominado desde el Gobierno, al accionar de grupos irregulares dentro del conflicto armado en Colombia.

to the actions/operations of...
Explanation:
Well, the comma before "al accionar" shouldn't be there in the first place, so that the sentence would read "como se ha denominado desde el Gobierno al accionar de grupos irregulares dentro del conflicto armado en Colombia," meaning "as the actions/operations of irregular groups within the armed conflict in Colombia have been called by the government." I can see how the punctuation would have made things confusing.

  -> Thanks Matthew...it could be (and it's definitely something to keep in mind), but it depends on which armed groups we're talking about...
