Recently, the Office of the Attorney General of the Nation (FGN) issued a press release following the comments of the Retired Colonel (r) John Marulanda about defenestrating the pColombian resident, Gustavo Petro Urrego.
In the first section, the investigating entity indicates that it emphatically rejects “any attempt to undermine democratic institutions and their representatives.”
Secondly, the Prosecutor’s Office indicated that -through its Specialized Directorate against Human Rights Violations and its Direction of the Technical Investigation Corps (CTI)– It will seek to determine the possible configuration of some criminal conduct by the retired military.
“(…) conduct constituting a crime, in light of the Penal Code, and to clarify the facts,” said the Office of the Attorney General of the Nation after the declarations of the Colonel (r) John Marulanda.
And it is that when knowing the declarations of Marulanda by the W Radius, Colombian President Gustavo Petro He responded via Twitter to the alleged complaints.
He President Petro warned that the fate of Colombia is not the coup and the destruction of the democracywhich he recalled is the cause of his Government and the institutionality, also dedicated two trills to him.
“No, that is not the destiny of Colombia. Let them keep their nostalgia for the past! Let them stay there, thinking that security consists of a gangster embracing a senator while he makes the list of those who are going to kill at night!” Said the president from Sucre.
“All the progressive people who elected the president already know it. The friends of impunity terrified by the truth are not thinking about elections, but about an institutional break. Will the prosecution investigate?” Petro said on Twitter.
In the second trill he spoke of a coup: “Why are they conspiring for a coup? Because they are terrified that we will end impunity. The truth intimidates them so much that they despair. They legally hide what society already knows: the enormous corruption in the state and the genocide, violence and terror unleashed on the people, are two sides of the same coin”.
In past statements to the W Radius, John Marlulanda was asked if “do you think it is true that the public force is being politicized?” It was then that he spoke of ousting President Petro:
“I believe that Colombia is following in the footsteps of Peru, and I believe that in Peru the reserves were successful in the sense that there they managed to oust a corrupt president, here we are going to try to do our best to oust a guy who he was a guerrilla, and I am not speaking as the president of Acore, I am speaking as another member of the reserve, who fulfills his tasks in his duties”.
He then said that he believes that the active reserves of the Armed forces They are going “for the formation of a political party, I think we are going for the formation of a political movement and I think we are going for the organization of a public force strong enough to handle the political situation that arises.”
At the end of his answer, he was asked what he meant by “defenestrate the president.” the colonel(r) marulanda He denied what he had just said and stated that he had referred to former President Pedro Castillo: “No, no, look, I spoke of the first person of the President of Peru, of Castillo, I was not referring to the President of Colombia.”
“Don’t look, at no time (here the audio is cut off for a few seconds) that the current president of Colombia was ousted, what I wanted to say is that Castillo, in Peru, was ousted, and just as he was, eventually , eventually, it can…”, the colonel said until the communication was cut off.
In the continuation of Follow the W on YouTube, the colonel retracted, saying: “I I correct what was said. It is not a question of ousting the president (Gustavo Petro) as Peruvian President Castillo was ousted, and I correct it, it is not a question, then, of ousting the Colombian president, who has all the legality of the case, it is legitimate, it is perfectly plausible that that he be president of the Republic”.
