The ambassador of Colombia in the United Kingdom, Roy Barreras, publicly promised to bring Senator Jota Pe Hernández to trial before the Supreme Court of Justice in the midst of the process that faces these two political figures.
Barriers argues that Hernández has led a defamation strategy showing false evidence against him and ensures that he will not reconcile with his counterpart. In that same sense, the senator has also refused to take that step. “We are not going to reconcile because we hope that those who commit severe crimesthat also destroy democracy, they have to go to trial. Mr. Jota Pe has committed several crimes, as we denounce today, ”said Barreras.
Ambassador Barreras and Senator Hernández went to the diligence cited in person before the Supreme Court of Justice in the midst of the process that faces them after the congressman published complaints that dot the diplomat with an alleged irregular management of the Congress contracts.
In dialogue with, from, Senator Jota Pe Hernández said that after speaking “pests” of him in the stations, in public and in court, he sought him to reconcileas if you were not interested in the judicial process between them. “We made a complaint in 2023 for an agreement, 983, of the Congress channel, an agreement between the administrative management and the Congress channel. The country remembers that complaint. A complaint of $ 8,000 million with one of Roy Barreras’s best friends: $ 4,000 million gave them to the daughter of this best friend of Roy Barreras and we asked the Court to investigate him to see what relationship Roy Barreras has with this man and what relationship, he even has with that agreement. We have a probative material of that complaint that we made in the Prosecutor’s Office against Mr. John Jairo Uribe and Valeria Uribe, quite broad. The Supreme Court is acting on this. For that complaint, Roy Barreras decides to respond as Armando Benedetti replied when Luis Carlos Reyes mentioned it recently on the issue of Dian, because immediately what they do is a complaint for insult and slander. It is the performance they take and because it denounced me for insult and slander, ”he explained.
“Yesterday we were in the Supreme Court in a conciliation session where I was clearly not going to reconcile anything. He was not going to reconcile and so we made the magistrate know. He told the magistrate that he had no mood to reconcile, I told the magistrate that I did not, that we needed to advance in the investigation. Then, on the one hand, the process of Roy, where I will have to prove that I will prove that I will prove. I slander, I host it. Witnesses, witnesses bribed, who already have people who are saying that Jota Pe bought them … well, those people will also have to prove if Jota Pe Hernández offered gifts, gave them something in return, forced them. It seems just normal to reach that level of dirt of saying, to point to a congressman, to be committing these acts that I clearly did not commit, ”added the congressman.
In contrast to this, said Hernández, Roy Barreras later approached him to reach an agreement and not follow this process. “He is a fairly incoherent guy, isn’t it a politician, yesterday he entered the Supreme Court speaking Jota Pe pees, but when the session was over, then he invites me to a political conversation in which he tells me:“ Jota Pe, already outside the process, come, let’s talk, why don’t we agree? You are a quite important political actor in the country, why do we not agree so that the hatreds go down in this country? “Never, I said, it will never be possible while your president, your leader, continues to call the opposition murderers,” said Hernández.
“Before the microphones, it is derogatory insulting a congressman, but then there at the table, privately, he intends to have relationship and political conversations with his adversary. I simply replied that, I stopped at the table and said: ‘I leave because I have a plenary that is waiting for me. My person. Hernández, ”he added.
“I am very happy because I feel that after these processes clearly the truth of all this will come to light and then they will be victories that they will show on which side Jota Pe Fernández is and on which side is Mr. Roy Barreras, on which side is Jota Pe Hernández and on what side is Senator María José Pizarro. Of course it was not going to be easy to make this way of doing decent politics against indecent people,” said the senator.
“One last thing for Colombians: if Roy Barreras and María José Pizarro is not liking what Jota Pe Hernández is doing, it means that we are doing a good job and we continue forward and we continue with everything, because what is coming will be better than it already was,” he said.
