He pointed out that among those detained were alleged leaders and members of Los Costeños, Los del Freseo, Los Porteños, Los Rápidos, and the Gulf Clan. According to what he wrote, the operation had affected their finances, extortion networks, micro-trafficking activities, and structures that, he said, instilled fear among citizens. He also acknowledged the coordinated efforts of the National Police, Military Forces, and the Attorney General's Office, and assured that his Government would not give a truce to crime. #Barranquilla #NoMásDelito #SeguridadCiudadana (translated)

He broke down the crimes attributed to the detainees as follows: conspiracy to commit a crime (16), theft (13), drug trafficking (9), illegal possession of firearms (8), homicide (3), and others (7).

Abelardo De La Espriella said that Police Colonel Yeison López would be called to account for his responsibility, as he stated, in the escape of 41 detainees for theft, micro-trafficking, and other crimes from the Protection Transfer Center. He also pointed out that López had failed to report the escape in a timely manner and had not taken the appropriate measures in light of the blockage of the Santa Marta–Barranquilla road, which occurred the day before. De La Espriella called for calm in the community and maintained that the escapees were not high-risk criminals. He added that resources were being deployed to locate and recapture them. He indicated that Colonel Urriago, second in command, would temporarily assume command and Colonel Jimmy Belalcázar would arrive that week as the new commander. The author stated that the Public Force should have members willing to confront crime and disturbances, and pointed out that Santa Marta needed leadership, character, and judgment. #SantaMarta #Policía #Seguridad (translated)

Abelardo De La Espriella said he was continuing, along with the Metropolitan Police of Barranquilla, the investigation into the installation of a flag and cylinders referring to the ELN in Barranquilla and Soledad. He reported that the Police, in coordination with the Prosecutor's Office, captured during a raid alias Kleiver, a member of Los Costeños, who had an outstanding arrest warrant for qualified and aggravated theft. According to De La Espriella, the investigation identified him as the driver of the vehicle used to transport the items. De La Espriella pointed out that the first items were found early in the morning in Ciudadela 20 de Julio, in Barranquilla, and that hours later they found two more cylinders in a parking lot near the Soledad Transportation Terminal. He added that the inspected items did not contain explosives. He affirmed that the operation was ongoing to locate the vehicle and another person who, according to the investigation, participated in the events. He also said that General Sandra Liliana Rodríguez was leading the verifications. De La Espriella maintained that the State should act in a coordinated manner, together with the Public Force, the Prosecutor's Office, and the judiciary, against those he described as narcoterrorists. He said that, while he was president, he would not allow Colombians to be intimidated and that such acts would have a firm response. #Barranquilla #FuerzaPública #Justicia (translated)

The author argued that the Cup was Millonarios' best opportunity to reach a final this year and that the team had had a favorable path. He stated that for three years the club had accumulated poor decisions and that the squad was exhausted from losing. He also questioned the coach and said he should resign or be dismissed. He pointed out that this year Millonarios had been eliminated by Alianza, O’Higgins, and Barranquilla, and he described those results as unacceptable. He added that what happened should not go without consequences or be treated as if nothing had happened. He called for the departure of the coach and several people from the club he criticized, led by Quintero. #Millonarios #FútbolColombiano #Copa (translated)

Who is Diana Patricia Bravo, a member of De la Espriella's legal team who is part of the defense of Alex Saab, just like Abelardo de la Espriella, the head of the team? Today they ask that his financial and tax gaps not be politically exploited. But how can Alex Saab's defender in the U.S. return Alex Saab's assets under the presidency of the republic, which is the Head of State? If the legal team led by Abelardo de la Espriella worked in the defense of criminals and drug traffickers in the U.S., how can one of these lawyers head the entity where precisely all the seized assets of their defendants are, and they want them to be returned, as publicly stated by Mr. Juan Fernando Alvarez Meyerndoff, trying to use me as a bargaining chip to recover their assets worth 700 million dollars? I gave a clear directive in my government: the assets of the mafia go, if they are rural, to the peasantry, and if they are suburban and urban, to public universities and cooperatives for victims of violence. They talk about not politicizing, but how can it be explained that Diana Patricia Bravo, as a prosecutor in Barranquilla, a prosecutor's office dominated by Char, raids three venues of the Historical Pact in the second round looking for money with which we were accused of vote-buying from a foreign government, and any Colombian knows perfectly well who buys votes in Barranquilla. #AlexSaab #Justicia #DerechosHumanos (translated)

Barranquilla does not wait sitting down for progress to arrive: it goes out to seek it. That energy, its entrepreneurial vocation, and its ability to look at the world are part of the reasons why I decided to make it an alternate capital of the Republic and an alternate seat of the National Government. And a city that increases its weight in Colombia needs infrastructure to match. That's why the Nation and the District are joining efforts to accelerate the transformation of the Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport. The District will contribute $40 billion to invest in the terminal, modernize it, and address needs that have been pending for too long. Public resources must turn into results. I don't want us to be talking in a few months about how much money was committed, but showing what was done, what changed, and how the experience of passengers and workers improved. The Ernesto Cortissoz will continue to belong to the Nation, and the Civil Aeronautics will maintain the responsibilities that correspond to it. What we are doing is simple: adding capacities to execute faster and better. This airport is not just the air gateway to Barranquilla and Soledad: it is a strategic infrastructure for Atlántico, the Caribbean, and Colombia. We want more tourism, more companies, more investment, more trade, and a region increasingly connected with the world. Barranquilla is growing, and Colombia is growing with it. Today, more than ever, I stand firm for the Caribbean, firm for Barranquilla, and firm for the Homeland! Long live Christ the King! #Barranquilla #Infraestructura #CrecimientoColombiano (translated)

Así me recibieron en Soledad y Barranquilla. Aunque el jefe de la seguridad que es funcionario público de la aereunática civil hoybdirigida por Abelardo, entidad con la cual logré ampliar la funcionalidad del aeropuerto robado por el clan Gerlein, arriesgó mi seguridad personal al hacer recorrer todo el aeropuerto sin seguridad. Sin embargo, así me recibió el pueblo barranquillero y del Atlántico en el aeropuerto en Soledad. #Barranquilla #Soledad #Colombia

El Departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos les revocó las visas al polémico empresario Euclides Torres y a la senadora Martha Peralta, del Pacto Histórico. Torres, uno de los megacontratistas del Estado, financió eventos relacionados con la aspiración presidencial de Gustavo Petro en el 2021, como el famoso acto de la P en Barranquilla. Peralta, por su parte, es investigada por la Corte Suprema de Justicia por el escándalo de corrupción de la UNGRD. #EstadosUnidos #Corrupción #Visas

El alcalde de Santa Marta y Abelardo han decidido mover la desalinizadora de agua de mar a potable que serviría más de 500.000 personas del norte de la ciudad al sector de pozos colorados en el sur, donde está la gran industria hotelera y la especulación inmobiliaria de lavado de activos. La rama hotelera podría hacer ella misma la desalinizadora para sus clientes. Usar el dinero público para los más ricos y los dueños de mafias, que ni viven en la región, los dueños de grandes cadenas hoteleras, y alejar a la población del agua potable, la cual habría que bombear desde lejos haciéndola cara, es lo que logra el fortalecimiento de la violencia en Santa Marta. El alcalde Pinedo abusó de mi confianza, engaña al pueblo, no explica su abrazo de amigo y socio con los jefes del grupo heredero del paramilitarismo "Conquistadores de la Sierra" , socios políticos tambien de Abelardo. Sin los jefes políticos tradicionales de Santa Marta, Riohacha y Barranquilla como amigos y socios de las bandas extorsionistas pues la violencia crece y empobrecen la región. Logre que Santa Marta fuera la ciudad con más porcentaje de población que sale de la pobreza de toda Colombia, ustedes Pinedo y Abelardo la hunden en la sangre. Dejeñé los estudios terminados de la planta desalinizadora para la zona norte y popular de Santa Marta, sólo faltaba adjudicar la construcción de la planta, dejé completamente financiada la planta con recursos de vigencias futuras, comenzando desde este año. Ya está la megasequía que debería acelerar fases, lo mismo que acelerar la reforma agraria y la entrega de tierras fértiles a campesinos, pero juegan a las pistolas con sus amigos traicionados porque saben mucho, y matan gente inocente o la ponen presa para aparentar. Hagan la planta desalinizadora donde están los pobres, hagan el megadatacenter público dejen fe arrodillarse a los gringos, extiendan la universidad pública y gratuita, entreguen las tierras que adquirimos a la campesinos e indígenas y verán como regresa el turismo y cesa la violencia. ¿Qué pasó? Si a Santa Marta le quitan el megaqñdatacenter de propiedad pública para ser nodo neural de las redes mundiales de alta capacidad computacional, si frenan el crecimiento del presupuesto para ampliar la universidad pública y gratuita del Magdalena, si suspende el socio de alias "Barbie" y Jorge 40 la reforma agraria, si no hay agua potable para las ciudades del Magdalena, lo único que van a hacer es repetir la matanza de las bananeras y de pueblo Viejo y hacer gobernador eterno a alias "Jorge 40" o sus descendientes #SantaMarta #Desalinización #AguaPotable

Hoy golpeamos en dos operaciones a los narcoterroristas de las Autodefensas Conquistadoras de la Sierra. En Santa Marta y Ciénaga, la Policía Nacional y el Ejército realizaron seis allanamientos y capturaron a 13 personas. Entre ellas está alias «Yolima», compañera sentimental del narcoterrorista alias «Pinocho», cabecilla principal de la estructura. Se incautaron cocaína, munición, celulares, panfletos intimidatorios y más de 29 millones de pesos en efectivo. También fue hallada una tarjeta bancaria a nombre de alias «Pinocho». En la Operación Kratos, la Policía Antinarcóticos, en coordinación con la DEA y la Fiscalía, capturó en Santa Marta y Barranquilla a cuatro narcotraficantes solicitados en extradición por Estados Unidos. La investigación estableció una conexión de esta organización con el Cártel de Sinaloa, a través de alias «Flash» o «Comando 200». La red tenía capacidad para enviar más de dos toneladas de cocaína al mes hacia Estados Unidos y lo hacían con la Autodefensas Conquistadoras de la Sierra. He ordenado seguir la ruta del dinero e investigar a quienes, incluso dentro del entorno familiar de estos bandidos, actúen como testaferros o cómplices. Hay que caminarles a todos. Voy a acabar con esta estructura criminal. Pinocho tiene las horas contadas. Él y todos los narcoterroristas de su grupo deben entregarse sin condición alguna, o les daré de baja como en derecho corresponde. Gracias a la Policía Nacional, al Ejército, a la Fiscalía y a la DEA por su trabajo. ¡Firme por el Magdalena! ¡Firme por la Patria! ¡Que viva Cristo Rey!
