Gustavo Petro stated that a discrediting strategy had ended and argued that the use of the expression "in my opinion" aimed to evade legal proceedings. He said he would take legal action and asserted that, unlike right-wing sectors that, according to him, had made it their mission to kill those who thought differently, his Government had guaranteed respect for the opposition. Petro indicated that, in a meeting in his office, he had told Senator Miguel Uribe Turbay and former President Álvaro Uribe that the opposition would have the guarantees provided by law and the Constitution. He asserted that his Government had fully respected the opposition for four years. He also maintained that whoever killed Miguel Uribe had no connection to the Government and that the matter should be clarified through criminal and civil proceedings that, he said, he had decided to initiate due to what he described as slanders against him. #PolíticaColombiana #Justicia #DerechosHumanos (translated)
