Gustavo Petro criticized the Council of State for revoking the minimum vital salary and stated that the decision, which he attributed to a magistrate or the full chamber, would reduce internal consumption and could lead Colombia to an economic crisis and violence. He accused the court of acting like an office of the Casa de Nariño and asserted that the measure jeopardized the middle class and could cause widespread poverty and bankruptcies. Petro said that the increase in the minimum wage during his government had reduced poverty and contributed to decreasing thefts, domestic violence, and extortion. He also claimed that the decision disregarded the 1991 Constitution and linked the Council of State with Abelardo, whom he described as a tyrant. The president called on workers from different sectors to mobilize and asked millions of people to take to the streets to demand a vital salary, promote a general strike, and support the people's constituent power. He accused his opponents of declaring war on workers and ended with a call for a free Colombia. https://t.co/EMvqmYeWO2 #SalarioMínimo #Colombia #DerechosLaborales (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)
