Maria Clara Posada

Maria Clara Posada questioned whether the JEP was deliberately delaying its actions to justify an extension of its term and hire more staff. She argued that the Attorney General's Office had warned since last year, on several occasions, that the Tribunal would not meet the investigation deadlines, which, according to her, would jeopardize the guarantees of the trial phase for members of the Public Force who did not accept responsibility. Posada pointed out that the JEP had 10 years from the start of its operations to present charges against those who did not accept responsibility. She explained that the Truth Recognition Chamber had to investigate the cases and refer them to the Investigation Unit (UIA), which would have 30 months to formulate charges. According to Posada, the files of the macro cases should have been sent no later than September 15, 2025, to meet those deadlines, but the JEP itself had indicated that it would send them between 2027 and 2028. She warned that if investigations were prolonged, the military who did not accept responsibility could face expedited trials that, in her opinion, would violate their guarantees. Posada stated that the alternative would be to extend the JEP's term and accused the magistrates of seeking to retain their positions for life. She added that, in her opinion, that was not the most serious aspect. #JEP #justicia #DerechosHumanos (translated)

Maria Clara Posada wrote that Judge Julieta Lemaitre explained that she found it amusing to hear Rodrigo Londoño recount that as a child he would hide to read José María Vargas Vila. Posada added that Lemaitre attributed other laughs to spontaneous reactions that, according to her, should not have been known. The author argued that the debate was not about the judge's sense of humor or how those reactions had been known, but about the dignity of justice, and asked whether a court tasked with judging atrocities could project an atmosphere of familiarity with those appearing before it. She cited a column from El Nuevo Siglo. https://t.co/EqEjrRCBF4 #Justicia #DerechosHumanos #Opinión (translated)

Maria Clara Posada announced that she would present a request to the JEP to open an incident of non-compliance and determine whether the Secretariat of the FARC should be expelled from the transitional justice system. She pointed out that the accusation from the Department of Justice against Nicolás Maduro claimed that the Venezuelan government had negotiated the delivery of weapons to the FARC to pay off a debt to the organization. Posada stated that it should be established whether the FARC omitted that account in the reserved hearings because, according to her, that would mean failing to tell the truth about an event that occurred before the signing of the Agreement and should lead to their expulsion and to them being tried by ordinary justice. #JusticiaTransicional #FARC #DerechosHumanos (translated)

Maria Clara Posada questioned why the JEP had not expelled members of the FARC Secretariat from the system who, according to her, had failed to fulfill their obligation to compensate victims. She cited the 10th Monitoring Report on the Peace Agreement by the Comptroller's Office, which stated that the FARC had not delivered 81.8% of the properties or 96.5% of the movable goods they had committed to, and argued that this figure did not include the assets that, she claimed, were hidden and not reported. She also asked where the FARC's money was and whether the agreement had become the largest money laundering operation in history. Posada noted that Legislative Act 01 of 2017 and the Statutory Law of the JEP established that those who appeared before it should compensate victims or lose their benefits, and criticized the jurisdiction for not applying that consequence. She stated that the FARC, which she claimed had a fortune of $600 million in 2014, only delivered assets worth $46.194 billion for reparations. She also described the JEP as favoring the FARC and mentioned that Victoria Sanguino had participated in a rally in support of the jurisdiction. Furthermore, Posada indicated that the Department of Justice had claimed that Maduro had negotiated with the FARC for the delivery of explosives in exchange for the payment of a debt. She asked whether this matter had been mentioned in previous statements before the JEP and maintained that not providing complete information could also lead to exclusion. She added that Colombians had the right to demand accountability from Transitional Justice. #JEPExpulseAlSecretariado #AcuerdoDePaz #FARC #JusticiaTransicional (translated)

Maria Clara Posada asked to spread her message to prevent, as she said, false, ideologized, and irresponsible narratives from harming tourism in Jardín. She added that the population was working on reconstruction and economic reactivation. #Turismo #Reconstrucción #Economía (translated)

Maria Clara Posada identified the woman in a photo from a demonstration supporting the JEP, driven by Alejandro Ramelli, as Victoria Sanguino, a member of the FARC whom she described as being accused of being responsible for hundreds of forced abortions and the recruitment of minors. Posada asked if anyone remembered another case in which alleged perpetrators participated in a demonstration to support their judge and said she did not recall seeing Nicolás Maduro support the Department of Justice. She also maintained that the scene was another example of a biased court that, according to her, prioritized criminals and forgot about the victims. #Justicia #DerechosHumanos #Paz (translated)

Maria Clara Posada stated that the FARC had used the JEP to improve their image and justify their actions, and said that new revelations had upset Timochenko and the court. According to Posada, within the framework of macrocase 01 on kidnappings, on March 15, 2019, it was claimed that the FARC had not taken up arms to kidnap and enrich themselves, that the figures on kidnappings were inflated, and that these had not been used to enrich their leaders or a small group. #FARC #Justicia #Colombia (translated)

Maria Clara Posada wrote that, three years before, Hamas had murdered more than 1,200 people and kidnapped hundreds of innocents, among them the Colombians Ivonne Rubio and Antonio Macías. She pointed out that remembering the victims and their families remained a duty, as well as condemning terrorism, confronting antisemitism, and defending Israel's right to exist and live in freedom and security. She added that, in her opinion, freedom, life, and the condemnation of terrorism allowed for no exceptions. #Terrorismo #DerechosHumanos #Paz (translated)

Maria Clara Posada stated that, as a congresswoman, she had the right to oversee every peso of public resources spent in the institution, which she wrote was created in Havana. She asked what prevented the country from knowing about the parties and fairs that, she claimed, were held during the hearings, and said that the victims had not received any real compensation. Posada claimed that Timochenko and people around him would not intimidate her and accused them of having treated thousands of kidnapped individuals with humiliation, torture, and murder, in contrast to the description that they were "like in a five-star hotel." She also maintained that in that case, no crime was committed because she did not have the duty to safeguard the information, and said that Timochenko had studied law within the framework of the JEP. She added that his disagreement motivated her to continue investigating. https://t.co/ADKX9E6Fcy #ControlPolítico #Justicia #DerechosHumanos (translated)

Maria Clara Posada wondered whether the magistrates of the JEP had treated soldiers and police who refused to take responsibility and defended their innocence with the same kindness, despite the fact that, according to her, they faced an adverse tribunal where they were practically condemned. She also questioned whether the FARC had shown the same consideration towards those affected by the recruitment of children, the rapes, the forced abortions, the extortions, the kidnappings, and the murders that she mentioned. Posada added that calling a media outlet to reprimand it and ask for greater leniency in reporting on a criminal group did not seem to her to be characteristic of a court of justice, but rather of a brotherhood. #Justicia #Colombia #DerechosHumanos (translated)

Cada día surgen más dudas sobre el edificio "Torre Squadra", sede de la JEP desde 2017. 1.En 2017 -Gbno Santos- la Agencia Inmobiliaria Virgilio Barco seleccionó este edificio porque estaba amoblado y no requería inversión en dotación de muebles, instalaciones, etc., a diferencia de otras opciones de valor similar. Sin embargo, en 2019 la JEP gastó $3.337 millones contratando el mobiliario necesario para las Salas de Audiencias. ¿Por qué la Agencia Virgilio Barco no tuvo en cuenta los costos de dotación de las Salas de Audiencia? Si se hubieran incluido estos costos, ¿"Torre Squadra" hubiera seguido siendo la mejor opción? 2.Detrás del dueño y administrador de "Torre Squadra" hay 18 empresas del mismo grupo familiar, 13 de las cuales están registradas en Delaware, Islas Vírgenes Británicas y Panamá. ¿Los recursos del millonario contrato de arrendamiento terminaron en presuntos paraísos fiscales? Abro hilo: #TorreSquadra #JEP #Corrupción

¿A qué fueron los magistrados de la JEP a París, Milán, Barcelona, Chicago o Miami? Los colombianos tenemos derecho a conocer el propósito de estos viajes y cómo se están utilizando los recursos públicos. Por eso, seguiremos poniendo la lupa sobre el gasto de la JEP y exigiendo transparencia y rendición de cuentas. Vía @NoticiasRCN #Transparencia #RendiciónDeCuentas #JEP

Anoche la JEP dijo que la entidad quedaba sometida a la quiebra con el recorte que aprobaron las Comisiones Económicas. Después de ver las cifras de viajes, la pregunta que nos queda a muchos es si la preocupación recaerá en que no podrán seguir viajando por el mundo como lo han venido haciendo estos años. Además de gastar $23.963 millones en tiquetes, la JEP ha desembolsado $32.472 millones en viáticos y gastos de viaje para sus funcionarios y contratistas. Solamente entre 2022 y 2025 (Gbno Petro) este último rubro creció 191%. El turismo judicial de este Tribunal, a nivel nacional e internacional, le ha costado al país $56.435 millones entre 2020-2026 e incluye destinos como Miami, Milán, Sevilla, Madrid, Denver, Chicago, Catania, Houston, Barcelona, Antofagasta y París. Mientras las víctimas han tenido que ver cómo las Farc caminan libres por el país y son premiados con curules 8 años en el Congreso, los funcionarios encargados de impartir justicia se han dedicado a acumular millas.

Detrás del multimillonario contrato de arrendamiento de la sede de la JEP hay algo que no cuadra. A pesar que la Constructora GAP SAS, dueña del edificio "Torre Squadra", registró en la escritura y el certificado de libertad y tradición en 2020 que la construcción costó $20.975 millones, la JEP ha pagado $114.202 millones entre 2020-2026 por su arriendo. Un promedio de $16.314 millones anuales. Es decir, con lo que ha pagado la JEP por el arriendo todos estos años se hubieran podido comprar 5 edificios de esta naturaleza. ¿Cuál fue la justificación técnica para acudir al arriendo y no a la compra que hubiera reducido considerablemente los costos de funcionamiento? Además, la JEP realizó esta contratación bajo derecho privado, es decir a dedo, dado que ese fue uno de los regalos que les dio el Gbno Santos en el artículo 118 de la Ley Estatutaria de la JEP. Sin ningún sustento técnico alguno, la JEP no está obligada a hacer licitaciones y contrata con quien quiera. ¿Qué hay detrás de este millonario contrato de arrendamiento? #JEP #Corrupción #Transparencia

Al Presidente de la JEP se le olvida que toda entidad pública debe rendir cuentas por la ejecución del presupuesto, más aún cuando tienen una responsabilidad con el país y las víctimas en un proceso de justicia transicional. Ni más faltaba que ahora la JEP pretenda ser una república independiente que no da explicaciones sobre su gestión, contratación y resultados. ¿Les preocupa tanto que el país conozca cómo han despilfarrado recursos en arriendos, viajes, eventos, salarios y abogados para las Farc? #Transparencia #Justicia #RendiciónDeCuentas
