After the case of Javier Ordóñez, a mortal victim in a case of police brutality in Bogotá, the Minister of Defense, Carlos Holmes Trujillo, was invited by the Senate to speak on Tuesday about the actions of the Police.

This was announced by the Ministry of Defense through its social networks: “I will attend the Senate, as always, attending invitations and summons. Unlike those who irresponsibly, and abusing their position, point out guilty as if they were judges, the country awaits competent authorities measures that determine individual responsibilities “.

Without mentioning who the head of the defense portfolio was referring to in that trill, the senator of Colombia Humana, Gustavo Petro, responded by saying that the Ministry of Defense is “the political party responsible for the massacre in Bogotá.”

“You, Mr. Holmes, are the political responsible for the Bogotá massacre. You did not act to prevent it, being your duty. A decent Congress would censor your position,” the senator trilled.
The fact did not stop there and Holmes Trujillo mentioned him again in a new trill, this time clarifying that he was referring to him in the previous trill: “Unlike those who, like @petrogustavo, irresponsibly and abusing their position point out guilty as if they were judges, the country awaits orders from authorities that determine individual responsibilities of the material authors of the destruction and their instigators,” he wrote.

To this trill with his own name, Petro responded by saying that his “constitutional duty today is to exercise political control over the Government.”
“My constitutional duty today is to exercise political control over the government, and whatever the names of the policemen who shot the people, which you should already know, are precisely you who are politically responsible by omission for the massacre, Minister of Defense, “trilled the opponent.

Hours ago, the discussion was between the Senator of the Democratic Pole Jorge Robledo who was launched at the ready against Holmes for the case of the US military in the country.
Robledo said in a statement that the “Ministry of Defense deceives and violates the law.” Referring to the fact that the Ministry of Defense lied when saying that the Senate gave it authorization for the US military to carry out its mission in the country and that for this reason “he deceived and lied and helped to violate the law in very serious matters, so he must stop being a minister. “
To this trill, Holmes replied: “. @JERobledo He continues to lie, slander, launch false accusations and make statements to mislead opinion, the media and the authorities.
And again the senator from Polo wrote to him: “The one who lies is you, Mr. Minister, you know it, and so the Secretary of the Senate certifies. Because the Senate never approved that @IvanDuque authorize US troops in Colombia, as you said, cheating. These are the tests. You must resign your position !!!
