Duque spoke about various topics during the XIII Atlantic Forum “Ibero-America and the world: post-pandemic challenges”, among them peace in Colombia and the criticisms of his predecessor.
Although he said that he did not intend to answer anyone, when asked about the words of Juan Manuel Santos, his answer was to quote the Argentine singer-songwriter: “I always remember the tango that says ‘the sadness of having been and the pain of no longer being’“.
“The facts are more eloquent than the speeches,” he added, and said that, although as a senator he had many qualms against the peace process, and campaigned for ‘No’ in the plebiscite, said he campaigned against peace with the phrase “neither shreds nor laughs”.
According to him, with this he wanted to separate himself from sectors on both ends of the political spectrum: some “who spoke of destroying the agreement” and others who “said perhaps, perhaps, perhaps whether they were going to repair the victims.
That is why the head of state assured that his political position is the center: “When the extreme right tells you that you are from the left and the extreme left tells you that you are from the extreme right, it means that I am in the ideal place, which is the pure center“, Held.
“I am from the extreme center and I will continue declaring myself as an extreme center, because here we need to look forward with development thinking about what benefits society and not be deviating to one side or the other: The future is in the center and the present is at the center ”, he concluded.
