But, in the judge’s discretion, “the arguments put forward by the plaintiff (Cepeda)
In their appeal they do not have the vocation to make a decision related to their interests, since guardianship is not the ideal means to defend their rights. Well, it is necessary to point out how well the judge of first instance had it, in the case sub examine the plaintiff is not an ordinary citizen, since within our Colombian society he holds a high position, such as that of a congressman, which in effect does not put him in defenseless conditions before the defendants here, which is also incidentally warn they are part of the political and public life of the country. “
