This party is patriotic. We have said that Congress should not be responsible for heinous crimes and child rape. We have also said that a young man who made a mistake, who was in the paramilitaries or the FARC, who is not involved in atrocious crimes, that they cannot tell him that he kidnapped, that they cannot tell him that he raped children and has made a reflection on life and he agrees with the Democratic Center, we must not block his way, ”said former President Uribe in Neiva.
The former president of the Colombians also spoke of the criticism that is made of socialist governments, forgetting the mistakes made by democratic governments.
“In Colombia we have to be in opposition to some theses, to reforms that do harm, but we also have to do self-criticism. Here we have all been relatively guilty and I include myself. That is why those who today go out to tear their clothes, also have to reflect on the faults that incumbent on us, “said Uribe.
After the Forum, former President Uribe left the auditorium and went to the Santander park in the capital of Huilense, in order to continue with the collection of signatures that he has been advancing for the Popular Consultation against the government reforms.
