Carlos Meisel, senator of the Democratic Center Party, spoke with, of, of the versions according to which the concurrence to Barranquilla, to the intervention of President Gustavo Petro, was not spontaneous. Antonio Zabaraín and Carlos Mario Farelo, senators of the Radical Change Party did.
“There is a lousy precedent here, that it was the famous events that they held in Barranquilla and that later it was learned, unfortunately, that they apparently had the origin of very bad plates, that the judicial entities are investigating them; those famous scenarios with the P and all that was done in campaign. Well, unfortunately it was very dark origins and the worst thing is that this can now do it with state Colombians, ”said Meisel.
“They no longer have to take money from bandits to do, but the healthy taxpayer is the one who is sponsoring Petro all this little guachafitas that are useless,” the congressman added.
In turn, Antonio Zabaraín, senator of the Radical Change Party, said: “In the same sense that the senator pronounced. He is on the networks. There are buse videos, but says they hired around 250 busesI am even finding out because I got information with which company they hired those buses, I am going to deal with to the extent that I can corroborate that information because I am not going to do the role of cheap slander. “
“It is said that they distributed 10,000 lunches and 10,000 markets And I saw in those videos, in those networks, people with market bags in their hand and with the lunch box in the other hand. What is it done with? With public money, this time. There are also indications, I have information that it was one of the state agencies. I do not give name because, as I said before, I do not want to travel along the roads of slander, “he added.
“What happened? Who were the contractors of the buses? What was the state agency that financed that? Because that badly told, to mobilize 8,000, 9,000 people who initially arrived in the square, when Petro arrived, that missing respect for the people who say they want, because for me it is a disrespect, what more lack of respect that that people mobilized with that people mobilized with lunch, He had his lunch and his market had already passed two, three hours and when Petro arrived he found half of the people, 4,000 people, “he said.
Carlos Mario Farelo, senator of the Radical Change Party, added that the president is disrespectful with arriving at the time he wants. “The hours, I believe that what one should respect and consider people is their dignity. And that is what he does not have, he does not feel respect for anyone or his own. So, I believe that here we will continue. I also want to tell President Petro that they chose me almost 90,000 Colombians. Those same 90,000 Colombians are missing respect, they are offending them, they are making them understand the despair they have, but our patience will be Of him and we will continue to fight tirelessly for good, not only of the 90,000 Colombians who accompanied us, but for an entire country.
In an application addressed to the Interior Minister, Armando Benedetti, the entity asked the official, indicating that the fact has been released thanks to what is circulating through the media.
In another mobilization, that of last May, there were similar complaints. The costs incurred by the president’s government, Gustavo Petro to mobilize indigenous people to Bogotá and give the sense of mass citizen support.
