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)

Gustavo Petro said that Angie Rodríguez would not present evidence publicly and maintained that she would have to submit it to the courts. He denied having ordered her to talk to paramilitaries to attack someone and asserted that if Rodríguez asked Salvatore Mancuso for such a thing, it was her decision and she must answer to the judges. Petro pointed out that Rodríguez left the government for giving public positions to an heir of paramilitarism. He also said that she had talked about her private life with claims that he described as false and absurd. He denied that there were sexual photos or videos on his phone or that drugs or alcohol were consumed in his offices, and he rejected having any addictions. In defense of his rights, he invoked articles 15 and 21 of the Constitution regarding privacy, good name, and honor, and article 20 about freedom of expression and rectification. He added that, according to article 29, whoever accuses must prove it, and the presumption of innocence applies. Petro stated that Rodríguez worked by his side for a long time and never witnessed acts of corruption or his attempts to obtain personal benefits. He said that if she had seen a crime, she would have had the duty to report it, but she did not do so and had not presented evidence. He announced that he would go to court and take the case to its final consequences so that, he said, Rodríguez's intentions would be known. #Justicia #Intimidad #LibertadDeExpresión (translated)
