Melquisedec Torres questioned whether the government of Gustavo Petro had paid the lawyer of former paramilitary leader Salvatore Mancuso. He stated that Juan Carlos Villamizar Alarcón participated in meetings of the "Pacto de Valledupar" in October 2025 as legal advisor to Mancuso and said he had revealed that information over the weekend. Torres noted that Villamizar had received at least two contracts from the national government in 2025 and 2026: one for $13.8 million from the National Center for Historical Memory and another for $128 million from RTVC. He indicated that the RTVC contract appointed him as an expert advisor in transitional justice to support the production of audiovisual content about the JEP and the Justice and Peace jurisdiction. He added that the lawyer had a professional card issued less than two years ago and that the contract, awarded directly, was signed on January 25, 2026. He also stated that, according to social media records, Villamizar had a long history as a member of far-left parties and ties to Gustavo Petro since at least 2009. He added that in 2014, Congreso Visible reported him as a member of the Unión Patriótica and that years earlier, he was listed as the coordinator of youth for the Polo Democrático Alternativo in Spain. #JusticiaTransicional #GustavoPetro #Colombia (translated)

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)
