Controversy over a banner calling for the death of Uribe that appeared upon the arrival of the minga in Bogotá

In the midst of the arrival of the indigenous minga to Bogotá, where hundreds of citizens gathered to receive more than four thousand leaders, a strong controversy was generated on social networks on behalf of a banner against former president Álvaro Uribe: “It is necessary that Uribe die”It reads on the fence hanging on a bridge where the minga passed.

Immediately the congressmen of the Democratic Center spoke out about it and rejected this message that incites violence. “Directors of the Minga, politicians who take advantage of her and the Mayor of Bogotá, share the intention of assassinating former president Álvaro Uribe?”, Asked Ernesto Macías.

Tomás Uribe, son of the ex-president wrote on his Twitter account about the appearance of the fence: “Democracy is hurt when in the name of social protest the death of a political contradictor is incited.”

In addition to the message against the life of the former senator, what also generated controversy was the fact that Gustavo Petro has retweeted a trill with that banner. “They always end up agreeing with us, here there are no social motivations, only hate, chaos, sabotage and incitement to murder. But also and very dangerous, that the lord of the bags gives RT, spread crime! ”, stated Senator Carlos Felipe Mejía.
