Milla Romero, who in August came to occupy the seat that the former president vacated with his resignation, indicated that it is a draft legislative act because, in her opinion, it is not approaching the objective for which it was created.
“Its pillars were truth, justice, reparation and non-repetition,” he said, and questioned each of them.
When referring to the truth, the parliamentarian pointed out that the former leaders of the Farc have not complied because instead of accepting that the children were recruited, they have said that they “entered training projects.”
However, despite the fact that some members of today’s political party have even said that minors “voluntarily” entered the guerrilla, the senator does not mention that there are others who have recognized the crime “without ambiguity or euphemisms”.
On the issue of truth, Romero also criticized that the FARC attributed the assassination of Álvaro Gómez Hurtado, “when there is enough probative material that proves otherwise.”
Then, the Uribista congresswoman spoke of the pillar of justice and recalled ‘Jesús Santrich’, “who committed a crime even after having signed and entered this project,” while regarding the reparation she affirmed that the “victims have not received even the 0 ,two %”.
Finally, regarding non-repetition, he cited figures that “show that there are more than 7,000 repeat offenders, misnamed FARC dissidents”, and added:
“To this is added that they have a budget of 300,000 million [de pesos] for its funtionability. With this we could give 2 million Colombian families a month of Solidarity Income “.
The initiative will be debated in the First Committee of the Senate and seeks, according to its author, that there is no “impunity for the FARC.”
The proposal comes just a few days after former President Álvaro Uribe proposed a referendum to change the Peace Agreement and, precisely, repeal the Special Justice for Peace. That statement was made hours after the Prosecutor’s Office decreed his freedom in the process that is being followed for procedural fraud and bribery of witnesses.
For this reason, the project was supported by the supporters of the Democratic Center. Senator Carlos Felipe Mejía, for example, expressed all his support to repeal the JEP because, said on Twitter, is “a court that costs the country too much and the only thing it has done is to guarantee impunity to the worst criminals against humanity.”
This was his explanation:
We present a Bill to repeal the JEP, a system that costs Colombians 300 billion pesos and that has failed in its objective of guaranteeing truth, justice, reparation and non-repetition, no more impunity for the FARC #ChaoJEP pic.twitter.com/fmTtSOboPU
