The CEP, the blind and the fiscal: a shock of opinion that polarizes the country

At a time when peace agreements with the FARC guerrillas are not at their best, where the country is divided around the presidential objections to the CEP and following a possible constituent badembly, a new scandal around the resignation of the prosecutor, the PEC and Santrich polarize and divide the country. With him, physical and political violence is back on the agenda.

Colombians will remember May 15, 2019 as the day when there were two events of paramount importance: on one side, one of a juridico-political nature; and the other simply political and with a moralistic charge.

The first relates to the first instance decision of the CEP Review Chamber not to extradite former guerrilla fighter Jesus Santrich, in accordance with the guarantees in this regard in the final agreement and which give priority to the rights of the nobody. victims to the truth and to repair, and puts them above the unilateral mechanism of extradition, which is other than the resignation of the Colombian state to try its nationals.

That is to say, it is a legislative decision which, in spite of its political effects, must be respected and respected by the institutions, by the agents of the State and, in general, by the citizens.

A real storm of political importance was around the democratic spectrum in the country before the decision of the Special Court of Peace (JEP) to guarantee the non-extradition of the pseudonym Jesús Santrich and to order his de facto release. caused the effect of resignation Immediately and irrevocably the ineffable Attorney General, Néstor Humberto Martínez, who should have signed the exit ticket of the former guerrilla commander.

Undoubtedly, an incendiary and irresponsible attitude which corroborates the fact that his resignation, calculated elsewhere, is part of all the stratagems and actions leading to delegitimize the high court of peace and thus to break the final agreement signed in Teatro Colón de Bogotá.

However, the freedom of "blind fashion" lasted little, fortunately, 20 minutes after leaving the maximum security prison, La Picota de Bogotá was resumed in an operation organized by members of the Office of the Prosecutor and the police , whose scenes They can be compared to a Hollywood film production. Then he claimed to be seriously injured and had to be transferred to a social welfare center in the capital to prove later that his injuries were not self-inflicted. What else can be expected from a character as harmful as that. Nothing good, of course.

Although his supporters and some sectors of the Left consider that the Santrich prison alias obeys the machinations of the right and enemies of peace, it is undeniable that this man has acted premeditated, as it appears on reproduced images in videos, to carry cocaine to the United States, knowing that it would cost him his place at the congress and with it his freedom and the pre-agreements of the agreement.

The members of his political party have made this episode the point of the greatest inflection of relative peace achieved so far in the country. But the truth is that the harm is done. For the average citizen, it is already clear that the FARC did not focus on the hook and the civil life after the signing of the agreements, and does not care if the video was recorded before or after noon on the night of the November 30th. 2016

Point for the Uribistas, who continue their escalation against peace with visas, objections, arithmetic, guardianship and falsetorpedo justice, close the way to something that terrifies them, the truth, and promote an elector who will bring the death blow to our already battered institutions.

Precisely, this decision of the PEC to order the freedom and not the extradition of Santrich resulted in the resignation of the prosecutor, who shocked the country, because at that time, who will now watch over the interests of Odebrecht and Luis Carlos Sarmiento? Who will put legal sticks on the wheels of the PEC? Who will find the billions of Farc that the homeless was looking for with the enthusiasm of a nearsighted detective? To whom will Jehovah hand over the audioles of the suicide controller? Who will denounce a "nauseating" fraud on the eve of elections and then keep a pestilential silence?

The CEP had specifically asked its office for disclosure of conclusive evidence in the case Santrichand before the deep silence and tremendous inefficiency, their capture became untenable with tests also missing that the United States promised to send without result.

His fault is that today, the pseudonym Santrich can not be extradited because all Colombians hope not to have provided enough evidence to show that this man had committed crimes after the signing of the peace agreement.

His freedom, despite the fact that we disagree with him, fulfilled the logic of the fundamental principles of law, and it is the same thing that the deposed prosecutor has now rejected to justify his dignity. I expected the most attractive context between the bitterness of resentment towards the old guerrillas to use it in their favor and disappear forever between noise and smoke, leaving behind the blanket up to the highest spheres of crime and the names that are still waiting for the fidelity of the establishment by tradition.

Calmé, without the bourgeois fury that he exposed during the Robledo debate in November, Martinez said Wednesday that the decision of the JEP had upset international cooperation agreements against crime, especially collaboration with the justice system American. It seems reliable. In November, I thought of something else and, instead of cooperating, I saw a global conspiracy against their honor "by the IDB, the FBI, and international terrorism."

In reality, the prosecutor resigned because he was violating a Supreme Court decision that would negate "abstract impediment" that he declared heal in good health of his inability to be Attorney General (the impediments can not be abstract, the court will say: and it would have problems, as Yesid Reyes explains).

Waiver to avoid justice, as he did when they made a motion of censorship of the monkeys that he introduced into the Reform of the Balance of Powers, being minister of Pastrana. Resignation because he no longer has a defeat: Odebrecht, glyphosate, objections, impediments. Resignation to continue the escalation of Uribistas attacks on justice and truth.

He failed in his work closing the Odebrecht-Grupo Aval case, since the imprisonment of Marcelo Odebrecht in 2015 and since December 2016, the US Department of Justice has presented some of the evidence of the pots-de -vin who had made it possible to carry out the contracts. from Navelena and Ruta del Sol.

It was ridiculous to try to cover the corruption in Navelena on January 5, 2017 when, a few days later, Senator Jorge Enrique Robledo unveiled the irregularities of Banco Agrario's credit of $ 120,000 million, which which favored $ 50 million for the bank. of the West, belonging to his boss and in which he participated as a lawyer in the process of structuring the project. In a few days, lawyer Fernando Carrillo will make the final decision regarding the members of the board of directors having authorized this loan.

He was discredited when his conversations with Jorge Enrique Pizano, who died today, were revealed. It became clear that he and his Aval leaders were aware of the bribes and other illegal activities of Odebrecht.

The sentence of eleven years and nine months in prison against the former president of Corficolombiana, José Elías Melo, defeated his strategy of victimization of the group Aval, which had serious consequences for his superior, Luis Carlos Sarmiento Gutiérrez, to whom the criminal judge has asked to investigate. investigations already advanced by the United States Department of Justice and other entities of this Government, the statement of charges of the Superintendency of Trade and Industry and the decision of the Administrative Court of Cundinamarca, which condemns the payment of $ 800,000 million to the partners of this corruption network.

His position and the institution have been reduced to nothing and an open dump that will remain occupied by a long succession of names that will have to get used to putrefaction and dangerous secrets. It is impossible to restore the trust of an entity that should have the most delicate and fair representation of its offices. Néstor Humberto Martínez betrays his career and the principles of the state, constantly lying up to the last resort of his know-how and swearing against all the evidence and the lights that spring from the honor and from pride, as the latest error of a scoundrel.

This sluggish political landscape in the country helps to accentuate and accentuate polarization at a time when we should look at the present with optimism after the conclusion of a peace agreement that reduced the number of murders and combat casualties by thousands and has allowed the reintegration of civil and diplomatic populations.
