“The Clan del Golfo was not able to take the step towards a collective submission to justice that was being legally prepared. It seems to favor their businesses more and stay in those businesses and there is no possibility of negotiation. until that becomes political will in the hearts of the people who are illegal, then peace will have these difficulties”, President Petro pointed out in the radio program of the Presidency.

This after it was established that allegedly leaders of the Clan del Golfo would be behind the mining strike that affects Bajo Cauca due to the recent violent acts that have occurred in the midst of protests that have had confrontations with the public force.

In the midst of the armed actions that this illegal group has been carrying out, the president announced that it would not be possible to talk about peace with these provisions, for which reason he categorically rejects any type of attack against the population.
