To Camilo Álvarez, participant in the aforementioned movement team, questions the response that the authorities had against the latest cases of killings of social leaders. "The links with the Gulf clan and the attempted robbery, for example, on hypotheses that are born without a clear inquiry procedure and end up justifying and legitimizing the murders."
Álvarez, a large part of the problem in these systematic events lies in the "lack of reaction of the institutions, an almost generalized inefficiency". "They put us in the fact that we want to become the leader of the whole world, but that's not the point. The fact is that there are deaths that respond to community logics and What it means to be a land claimant is nothing and it is clear that gives an activation of criminal groups "he concluded.
