Nor can it be forgotten that the General Disciplinary Code considers as a disciplinary offense due to misconduct the attacks on the President of the Republic in his capacity as a legitimately constituted authority in the exercise and relation to his functions, an offense in which it must be investigated whether Barbosa incurred after the extensive slander issued against President Petro.
The incredible thing about the event is that it occurred in the same week in which the Prosecutor’s Office made it clear that its intention in the face of high-profile cases that affect those who will be his political godfathers when he runs for public office is to annul any attempt at progress. of justice. For the third time, the Attorney General’s Office is evaluating whether to file charges against former President Uribe after having gone through four Prosecutors, repeated attempts at preclusion denied by two judges and a court.
With the resignation of Prosecutor Andrés Palencia one day before the deadline to call the former president to trial and the delegation of Víctor Salcedo as leader of the process, who must declare himself impeded for having publicly expressed his opinion regarding the case, procedure that takes considerable time, it is clear that it is the same Prosecutor’s Office that is making use of all possible delaying maneuvers so that the terms expire and Álvaro Uribe does not have to face in court the accusations against him for witness manipulation.
Fortunately for the country, Barbosa’s time in the Prosecutor’s Office is approaching its end. With the shortlist of highly competent women that rests in the Supreme Court of Justice, hope is kindled that we will finally have an expert official, focused on fulfilling the constitutional functions that the entity has and that generates the much-needed articulation between Government and Prosecutor’s Office to guarantee the fight against crime in Colombia.
