Colombian Attorney General Francisco Barbosa announced last Friday that his family would leave the country as a result of the allegations President Gustavo Petrowhich sparked controversy by assuring thathe is the immediate supervisor that official.
“In the coming days, my family will leave the country for fear of being killed because of what happened today in Colombia. This is not a game, this is not a mechanism that can be taken lightly. Gustavo Petro is not the head of the opposition in the country, he is the head of state,” Barbosa said in a press statement.
The Colombian president became the star of his latest controversy during his visit to Spain after calling Barbosa his subordinate.
“I am the head of state, so his boss“, Petro told reporters in the Spanish city of Salamanca, where he received the award, with an act that ended his official visit to that country.
“Of course, the Constitution prescribes that the head of state is the President of the Republic, Art. 115, and, of course, the Constitution provides that the special function of the Attorney General is to provide the president with information on cases that violate public order and peace, art. 251,” Petro posted on Twitter on Saturday, May 6, accompanied by an official statement.
In this sense, Petro emphasized that he “did not deviate an inch from the Constitution”, “demanding” that all information providedabout him murder of 200 fellow citizens and minors and the role of Seigner Hernandez in this crime against humanity.”
Petro’s statement came in the middle the controversy he had for several months with Barbosa, who questioned the president’s decisions, mainly related to his policies full world, and on Thursday he will reproach the president for putting “a tombstone to judicial officials” with his comments.
In this sense, Barbosa assured on Friday that “in this country killed Colombians such as (politicians) Luis Carlos Galán, Rodrigo Lara and many others who have been declared State crimes.
He also stated that Gustavo Petro “not a president, but a dictatorand argued that his appointment was up to the Supreme Court.
In addition, the prosecutor said that he would consider with his team legal action according to Peter’s announcement.
Considering Peter’s comments, the Supreme Court said on Friday:great concern about the misinterpretation of Article 115 of the Constitution‘ from the president.
“The Attorney General of the country, who has the qualities of a magistrate of the highest court, has no hierarchical parent and is elected by the Supreme Court from a shortlist drawn up by the president” and is “an official whose mission is clearly regulated by the legal order and framed in autonomy and independence of the judiciary“, – the court answered Peter.
With this in mind, in an official statement by the President of Colombia accepted the Court’s call to respect the autonomy of the prosecutor. However, he again criticized the actions of the prosecutor’s office in the case of 200 murdered Colombians.
“The Prosecutor General’s Office does serious damage to the Prosecutor’s Office itself by keeping silent in response to these complaints, which, if true, would mean nothing more than complicity of his representative prosecutor Daniel Hernandezfrom the inner circle of both Nestor Humberto Martinez and Francisco Barbosa, in omission killing more than 200 people, including children and members of the Public Force. Prosecutor Hernandez continues to stand his ground despite being accused of malfeasance and allegedly threatening a witness in the Odebrecht case, an investigation that, according to journalistic sources, keeps him under the gun of the FBI,” the May 6 statement said.
“I accept the challenge of the venerable @CorteSupremaJ. I respect and will respect autonomy and independence @FiscaliaCol and all branches of government. But as President of the Republic, I will not remain silent in the face of these very serious complaints”: Pdte. @petrogustavo. pic.twitter.com/Hz1ihdVOzL
