The events that occurred in the match of this Saturday, August 12, add to what has been occurring in this region of the country. Added more insecurity and more fear, did we go back to the old days? is the question that many people ask themselves, given what happened throughout the year.
The subintendent Michael León, and the patrolmen Jorge Laureano Orozco and Eimy Marcelina Rodríguez, were presumably killed by Farc dissidents, on the road that leads to Suárez, when the uniformed men were carrying out patrols. The president, Gustavo Petro, used his networks to regret what happened to the members of the Police.
«Again another police woman falls between two more young men. This violence makes no political sense, it is the violence of the illicit economies against the civilian population.
My condolences to the family of this fallen youth and to the national police.
Eymy, Michael and Joseph Laureano.
RIP”.
