In that conversation, broadcast by Noticias Uno, Fernando Londoño brought up the case of the military man who killed Giraldo to point out that Colombians do not react in the same way when a uniformed man dies, as when a civilian dies.
However, the former minister of Álvaro Uribe’s first government did not know how to refer to Giraldo (a transsexual woman), and ended up making a comment that, for many, was derogatory.
“In a regrettable action a citizen dies, let one know what it is, and the scandal that is being armed […]. [Pero] Nobody remembers the soldiers, ”Londoño is heard saying in the following video.
“In a regrettable action a citizen dies, who knows what it is.”
Thus, with contempt and discrimination, Fernando Londoño referred to Juliana Giraldo.

The reactions to Londoño’s pronouncement were immediate. The journalist Gustavo Gómez said, on Caracol Radio, that it was an expression of “bad taste”, while his colleague Darcy Quinn pointed out that he was re-victimizing her “because of her condition.” And she added: “There is no right!”
In social networks there were similar comments, as they branded the former minister a homophobic and a bad person as you can read below:
Does the former Minister Fernando Londoño not have in all those books behind his fatal statement referring to Juliana about her murder, even a book that teaches him that she is a trans citizen, about her rights and the respect she should have? Your homophobic comment is pathetic!

I have no doubt that Juliana, without knowing her, was more decent, more honest and a better person than the professional cheerleader Fernando Londoño.

Fernando Londoño is not even a terrible person, but a NOT person. His lack of empathy and the ability to recognize someone who does not agree with him as a human being is nil.

The former far-right official also took the opportunity to criticize the Government, for the management it is giving the National Army, because, he says, it seems that the institution is “manatee”.
Specifically, Londoño referred to the “humiliation” experienced by various military personnel when they were subjected by FARC dissidents in Valle del Cauca.
“It is unheard of. This would never have happened with President Uribe as president, never! […] Can’t the Army shoot? Is the Army manacled? I say take his guns away, what guns for? The rifles are not for decoration ”, said the former minister, as can be seen in this trill:
# SonHéroesNoSonVilllanos | The army is tied up. What do they carry weapons for if they can’t use them? Let them take the rifles from the army then if they are not going to be able to use them against the terrorists.

It is not the first time that the former official has questioned that the Public Force does not use weapons. A few months ago, Londoño criticized the Minister of Defense, Carlos Holmes Trujillo, and the generals for not causing “casualties in the enemy”, and that, instead, the dead were military.
Likewise, the former minister has been dissatisfied with the management that President Iván Duque has given the country.
