The guardianship asks to order López to withdraw a trill of October 30 in which the video in which he says “I do not want to stigmatize Venezuelans, but there are some immigrants involved in criminality who are making our lives squares.”

Who filed the guardianship?
Hernando Andrés Soto Valencia, 32, presents himself as born in Caracas (Venezuela), the son of Colombian parents and with a Colombian ID. He is also a lawyer and is pursuing a specialization in administrative law.
“I am not a criminal, nor do I have a criminal record. In addition, I am a Binational Lawyer, I work for a law firm, I am currently studying a Specialization in Administrative Law and I always seek that my behavior as a citizen is the best possible, however, from these statements so reprehensible on the part of Mrs. Claudia López, xenophobic or stigmatizing behavior can be generated against me, “says the lawyer.
(Further: ‘This is not fanaticism for the bicycle or a war against the car’)
Soto, in the guardianship, collects evidence of the mayor’s trills and publications from various media that covered the news. From this, it ensures: “Without a doubt, associating crime with a nationality constitutes an act of
reprehensible discriminationBecause when someone has the status of a criminal, they do not do so by virtue of their nationality, but rather it derives from the loss of values as a human being and not as “Venezuelan”, “Colombian”, “Peruvian”, etc.
Obviously, criminality must be rejected regardless of its
origin and support the actions of the authorities so that criminals are captured and brought to justice. What cannot be accepted is that an authority emphasizes the Venezuelan nationality of the criminals, because without a doubt that does stigmatize Venezuelans. “

Soto adds that “It is strange that it is precisely Mrs. Claudia López who makes these sad statements, since she belongs to the LGTBI community, which remains in a constant fight against discrimination.”
