This week the Seventh Administrative Judge of the Cúcuta Circuit seized as a precautionary measure two bank accounts with approximately six billion pesos, within a direct repair process, which leaves about two thousand pensioners of the Military forces, mostly disabled.

Abel Rojas, a professional soldier retired due to disability and president of the Association of Military Survivors of the Armed Conflict of Huila, considers that it is a arbitrary measure by the judge.

“For us, clearly, it is a prevaricate by action by the judge who made the decision, since these accounts are Unattachable by origin and specific destination for which they were created, ”he said.

In a statement, Ministry of Defence requested the Treasury to make the corresponding budgetary movements to pay the pensioners before the December 31st and reiterates its commitment to active and retired members, that in a 96.3% They have already received the payroll payment for December 2020.

For Rojas, this Government pronouncement was late, because it should have been when the judge’s measure was known. “We are waiting for the procedures that the Treasury of the Ministry of Defense does to move those resources to other accounts so that they pay the heroes of the country, “he said.

Among the two thousand pensioners of the military forces are victims of the armed conflict, disabled and disabled, and war veterans. “The decision revictimized as heroes of the fatherland”Said Rojas.

The Social Benefits Group of the Ministry of Defense, together with the Legal Affairs Directorate, initiated legal actions to revoke the precautionary measure and his subsequent disembarkation.
