María Isabel’s Opinion on President Petro’s Speech at the UN & the Historic Pact Campaign Funding Controversy

2023-09-19 12:07:14

At 6:00 am, what will María Isabel be saying today, Tuesday, September 19, in SEMANA? Today President Petro will speak on his favorite catwalk: The United Nations General Assembly. The Colombian Government could almost save the thousands of dollars it will pay to a new North American image consulting company because Petro always manages to sneak in among the main speakers at the United Nations.

But he will add the campaign to lift sanctions against Venezuela, as one of the measures to reduce the migration crisis, the Darién plug, since one of its main factors, not the only one, is the exodus of Venezuelans through the difficult economic and political situation of his country.

However, something very strange is happening, President Joe Biden’s National Security Advisor, John Kirby, assured – in a press conference practically called for this purpose – that he does not have the slightest knowledge that there has been such a proposal. type, which does not know of a similar request made by that Government and which, on the contrary, continues to work with partners in the region to reduce the flow of migrants from the south to the north and who are handled by traffickers on these dangerous and jungle roads

Of course, Petro’s statement is quite vague and imprecise. Whoever made the proposal for the wall was attributed to the “political power of this country.” Could it be that the wall to stop the plug, as he called it, is the result of his cacumen? Or did someone with political authority in the Biden Government or in Congress really propose it? Or could it be that Petro has received ideological influence from former President Donald Trump who did win the elections with the proposal to build a wall between the United States and Mexico, we do not know.

But Petro’s imagination works very well, meanwhile 2,500 people make the decision every day to enter such a dangerous jungle with a minimum fee of 700 dollars per person. Without a wall or with a wall, it is very good that the Colombian president puts this issue on the UN’s agenda because as a humanitarian catastrophe, there are few in the world.

What does María Isabel think? The Historical Pact plane

Something very strange happened with the funding of the Historic Pact campaign. Because the costs of traveling in a small plane that trafficked cocaine appear recorded in the campaign expenses of several Pact congressmen, who flatly deny having traveled in that small plane. Were they contributions disguised as expenses? The campaign manager, the current Minister of Health, Guillermo Alfonso Jaramillo, remains to speak.

At 6:00 o’clock in the morning, what will María Isabel be saying today, Tuesday, September 19, in SEMANA? Well, the opinion revolves around the confusing episode of the company to which the pilot accused of drug trafficking belonged, the Ibagué airline company, Sadi SAS, which came to light as a result of the famous narco plane that fell into the hands of the authorities in Providencia with 446 kilograms of cocaine hydrochloride and millions of camouflaged pesos in May 2021.

“Members of that list such as Roy Barreras and Iván Cepeda immediately came out to deny that they had used that plane during the campaign and their version must be believed, even though the costs of their supposed trips are reported to the Electoral Council. But other members of the Historical Pact have accepted the use of the plane.”

“But at this point things continue to get complicated because what would have been the charges for the transfer of members of the Historic Pact list in the campaign now seem to have actually been contributions from that company to the Pact campaign, which “They were distributed in equal parts to those first members of the list and were passed off as campaign expenses, when in reality, they apparently could have been contributions of such dubious origin.”

“Until last night, the manager of that legislative campaign of the Pact, the current Minister of Health, Guillermo Alfonso Jaramillo, did not open his mouth to give any explanation about this, which is undoubtedly the case of the Historic Pact campaign, although the accountant already spoke and admitted about the distribution.”

“To what extent will this non-existent Electoral Council continue to allow with impunity all kinds of rubbish and corrupt maneuvers in the financing of campaigns to be discussed? This time, like so many others with the possibility that the pilot who surrendered to the North American authorities will sing before those authorities in C major, which is formed with the notes C, E and G.
