The Colombian right wing conspires

 

The most recent alert of Colombian president, Gustavo Petro, about preparations of businessmen to destabilize the government, highlights the attempts of the internal and external right wing to stop the changes towards social justice.

 

The President alerted his people, as he usually does, about the collection of money by businessmen he identified as Spaniards to carry out a coup.

 

The Head of State warned that such conspiracies would start a new era of violence in Colombia, a country characterized by armed conflicts and paramilitarism.

 

Precisely, Petro promoted peace initiatives with the insurgent National Liberation Army and other groups, although oligarchies and power centers hinder his steps.

 

It is the same rancid right wing that has just been laid bare once again by the collusion with sectors of the armed forces involved in the violation of human rights.

 

The Special Jurisdiction for Peace, with more than 4 thousand testimonies collected since its creation, indicted former army general Mario Montoya for extrajudicial executions.

 

The entity pointed to Montoya as the creator of a policy he called "body count", to lie about the number of combat casualties in clashes with irregular groups.

The Special Jurisdiction for Peace unmasked the man who was head of a notorious army brigade in 2002 and 2003, in the department of Antioquia, where people were killed under the practice of "false positives". It cannot be overlooked that Montoya was one of the senior officers closest to the then president Alvaro Uribe, architect of the ultra-conservative Democratic Center, nowadays pointed out as one of the main opponents of the government.In the meantime, the President continues his efforts to reduce inequality in Colombia, handing out land to peasants and promoting agrarian reform.

 

We must remember that the leftist government is promoting projects to transform the health and pension systems as well as the labor codes.Enough for conservative politicians, powerful businessmen and oligarchs to increase tension and question even the President's mental health, with the help of the corporate press.

 

In the face of such challenges, the Head of State has reiterated his calls to be alert to the popular bases, whose push was decisive in the electoral victory in June 2022.
