“Benedetti must be bought the rights of life to make a Netflix series”

“What you have to buy are the rights of life to make a Netflix series. A Rocambolesca, Hollywoodesca sheath, a black novel with all the edges and such. Benedetti is a character capable of everything. Capable of everything, ”said the lawyer.

“What I do not understand is how, having that history of a pod that in particular bothers me a lot, I, of course, of everything Benedetti has done in his life, on public and personal level … . But there is one thing I can’t understand. He has a mistreatment history with 20, 30 women. I do not explain why one of those parents of one of those women has not done what a man has to do when a vergage, a miserable, mistreats one’s daughter, ”added lawyer Abelardo de la Espriella.

“I have two daughters. I touch wood. If one of my daughters any miserable puts his hand on him, I have no problem paying 40 years in jail, but I charge them. That is what impresses me most of all the why Armando Benedetti has done in his very much life. In addition to all corruption, in addition to all the betrayals, of politiquería, of the brown, of the baseness that characterizes it. That is what offends me the most, ”said the lawyer.

“I do not understand how none of those 30 guys, who do not deserve to be called parents, have fulfilled the duty that corresponds to a father to defend with his own life his daughter if that is necessary. I don’t understand it, I don’t fit my head, ”he said.

Here your statements about Armando Benedetti:

An ancient alfil on the right is the apple of the discord of the first left -wing government of Colombia and protagonist of a crisis with soap opera dyes: Armando Benedetti, the controversial figure that President Gustavo Petro defends to ultranza.

Languaraz, explosive, investigated for corruption and denounced for gender violence, 57 -year -old Benedetti, was key in Petro’s rise to power. But his presence in the cabinet since February 4, 2025 unleashes a crisis between the president and a good part of his ministers and senior officials.

These its main moments with the Petro government:

As Congressman Beedetti supported former president Álvaro Uribe, top leader of the Colombian right, and his successor Juan Manuel Santos. In 2022, Petro appointed him manager of his campaign as part of a strategy to get to power backed by traditional policy sectors. After the investiture of President Petro, Benedetti was appointed ambassador to Venezuela.

But in a dramatic turn it became an uncomfortable man for the Government, since the National Electoral Council included it in an investigation for alleged violations of the limits of expenses in the career to the presidency.

The CNE investigation into the accounting books of the campaign is ongoing and could have an impact on a political trial if you arrive at Congress. Petro says that it is an attempt to “coup d’etat.”

Benedetti left Caracas and months later was appointed as ambassador to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Rome. In July 2024 Spanish media revealed that His wife, Adelina Guerrero, denounced him in that country for allegedly taking a knife and threatening to harm her.

Petro’s first chancellor, Álvaro Leyva, had already branded him as “Drug Addict” and his replacement, Luis Gilberto Murillo, opened a disciplinary process for the alleged aggression to his partner.

After months of silence and distancing, Benedetti appeared on February 4 as in the old days, sitting next to Petro and in a Council of Ministers and Directors of the main agencies of the State.

The meeting was broadcast live and became a kind of “reality” by official channels. In prolonged disasons, the president spoke of second opportunities and presented the former ambassador as head of the dispatch while reprimanding his officials for breaching the goals of the government.

The vice president, France Márquez, was the first to respond and attack Benedetti and Sarabia, recently chosen as the Foreign Minister: “I do not share (…) her decision to bring these people to this government,” he said evidently annoyed. Then followed the Minister of Environment, Susana Muhamad: “As a feminist and as a woman I can not sit at this table” with Armando Benedetti, he said in the broken voice.

Three of the most faithful Petro servers backed them while The government collapsed live on social networks and television. Petro disregarded those claims and gave Benedetti a support when comparing it with Jaime Bateman, his ideological lighthouse and founder of the M-19 guerrillas, to which the president belonged in his youth. “It has a kind of virtue, which is to be crazy,” said the president while Benedetti laughed.

On Sunday, the president requested the protocol resignation to his entire cabinet. Among the squad that crashed against Benedetti was Augusto Rodríguez, former Petro’s partner in the M-19.

At the meeting he released that he had information on a meeting during the former Diplomatic campaign with alias Dad Pitufo, the country’s largest smuggler. A new bomb exploded after that revelation. Petro himself acknowledged that the trafficker delivered money to the Catalan political strategist Xavier Vendrell, but he gave him the order to return it when he found out. The Head of State said there is a video with this return of the money, but has not released anything.
