The words of the High Commissioner were given this Friday after the Cauca Regional Indigenous Council (Cric) canceled the agenda it had with the Government, and Miguel Ceballos denounced that a member of the indigenous community insulted President Iván Duque when trying to relate his government with drug trafficking and paramilitarism.
“President Duque, elected by the Colombian people to be their first president, is not a ‘narco-paramilitary,” said Ceballos, in statements collected by W Radio.
The official’s annoyance reflects the displeasure with which President Duque received this qualification, as Ceballos confessed that these statements by the indigenous leader “have offended the presidential dignity.” “We have been offended,” he added.
The official, according to the station, was convinced that the citizen’s words were in a personal capacity, and not as a representative of an entire community that claims its rights through the indigenous minga.
“I don’t think that’s the spirit of the indigenous minga ”, reiterated Ceballos.
The W reported that although Ceballos said that he will not make public the name of the person who used that qualifier against Duque, however, you will “send” your statements to Cric to file the complaint.
Indigenous leader calls Iván Duque’s government “‘narcoparamilitar'”
The station mentioned that the indigenous leader had not consulted his words with the Suroccidente del Cauca minga, whose representatives were yesterday at the seizure and peaceful protest at the El Dorado airport in Bogotá.
There, precisely, the statement delivered to the media by one of the spokesmen of the demonstration drew attention, words that were recorded in a video posted on Twitter by the president of the MAIS party, Marta Peralta Epieyú.
“We are here at the El Dorado airport to denounce the bad government, a fascist ‘narco-paramilitary’ government, we are here to reject the murder of social leaders and human rights defenders,” he said, according to the publication.
Beyond the remarks, the representative of the Misak people, Édgar Alberto Velasco, said in Noticias Caracol that the objective of the protest is “to demand the implementation of the peace agreement, defend the lives of social leaders and reject the masks.”
This was Peralta’s publication with the statements of one of the indigenous leaders.
“We are here to denounce the fascist and narco-paramilitary government, we are here to reject the murder of social leaders.”
