This Thursday, the mayor of Bogotá Claudia López pointed out that there has been “an indiscriminate and disproportionate use of force.” She even mentioned that it was a “massacre” against young people.

“It is an indiscriminate and disproportionate use of force. 66 wounded by firearms, not even in a combat, I have been comparing events and combats in the early 2000s at the height of the armed conflict in Colombia, have 66 civilians wounded by firearms on the same day, not even in one combat“Lopez emphasized.

“They assassinated Javier Ordóñez and indiscriminately shot citizens: # Septiembre9 68 wounded, 7 dead; # Septiembre10 8 wounded by firearms.
They disobeyed express and public instructions from the Mayor’s Office. So who do they obey? Urge justice, action and reform! “, He trilled this Friday.

Likewise, the local president assured that “no one gave an order to use firearms.” This is how she wrote on her social networks this Thursday: “No one gave an order to use firearms, much less indiscriminately. But we have evidence from several places where this happened. We are reconstructing events with victims and relatives. ”

Faced with this, this Friday a video of an interview that she gave when Claudia López was campaigning for the Mayor’s Office circulated on social networks and promised to be the head of the Bogotá Police.

“The first thing I offer is personal leadership. Bogotá has been without a Chief of Police for 12 years. Samuel Moreno did not want to be Chief of Police, he was the leader of the bandits; Gustavo Petro had other different priorities and Enrique Peñalosa also ”.

“The Police Headquarters cannot be delegated, Bogotá and Colombia recognize that just as my hand has not trembled to put 42 corrupt people in jail, with my investigations I will be the Chief of Police that makes criminals tremble,” added the current mayor in 2019.

For his part, León Valencia, director of the Center for Thought on the Armed Conflict, Peace and Post-conflict, said that she can only “recommend to the police.”

“The mayor of Bogotá has just told a truth that no one says, she can only attract attention, recommend to the police, the one who can order and dismiss is the president, it is the chief, it is not true that mayors are police chiefs, one is not a chief if he cannot dismiss, “the analyst trilled.
