Gustavo Petro denied having ordered anyone to pressure someone to testify against Álvaro Uribe or another political leader and stated that no evidence had been presented to demonstrate this. In response to the statements of Salvatore Mancuso and Angie Rodríguez, he requested that the facts be investigated and documents, communications, recordings, and the names of those involved be made public. Petro maintained that the meeting with former commanders of the self-defense groups was not held in secret and that it was established by Resolution 327 on September 21, 2025. He wrote that the act aimed to clarify the truth, repair the victims, and conclude a peace process that had begun more than twenty years ago. He added that the Attorney General's Office, the Public Prosecutor's Office, and the Ombudsman's Office were considered permanent guests to accompany and supervise the process, and asked if they had been summoned and if their representatives attended. The president said that if anyone used that space to pressure testimonies or fabricate accusations, they must respond to justice. He also stated that anyone attributing to him an order he had not given would have to answer for their statements, and insisted that responsibilities must be proven, not based on rumors. Petro linked the controversy to the need to clarify who ordered massacres, financed paramilitary groups, or benefited from their crimes. He stated that the victims deserved answers and reiterated that everything should be investigated and all parties should be heard. #Colombia #Verdad #Justicia (translated)

Isabel Durán stated that the Ombudsman had assured her that she could not appeal while the case was still sub iudice, but that four days later she requested the Constitutional Court the same thing that CeDEU had demanded. She also recalled that Gabilondo had told El Debate a week earlier that the Ombudsman could not appeal under those circumstances. Durán accused Sofía Puente of opening the way for consulates to grant nationalities and maintained that new voters appeared in municipalities and constituencies where, according to her, they could help Pedro Sánchez change seats in Congress. She described the situation as a “demographic miracle of Sanchismo” and asserted that the State Attorney's Office, the Prosecutor’s Office, and the Ombudsman intervened so that people who, as she wrote, had obtained nationality through the “grandchildren’s law,” which she labeled as false, could vote. https://t.co/7y6dcJXAmY #Política #DefensorDelPueblo #Elecciones (translated)
