Patricia Linares, president of the JEP, spoke after President Iván Duque’s criticism of that transitional justice.
The head of state pointed out that the Special Jurisdiction for Peace has not been able to deliver the expected results, in part due to “the FARC’s breaches.”
To which Judge Linares responded: “In many of the debates that are held and that have served to stimulate smear campaigns, more oriented to the achievement of electoral purposes, it is very important that it be known, because sometimes public opinion is confused, that in Colombia there was no surrender process, in Colombia there was a negotiation process that reached the final agreement for a stable and lasting peace. “
Furthermore, in an interview with Yamid Amat, Linares pointed out that “it is not admissible for one public authority to point out to the other how it should act, what it should decide and what is the scope of the functions. In this case, let them tell us who are the people who must submit to the JEP and what are the sanctions to impose. “
It is not the first disagreement between Duque and the JEP.
Meanwhile, Judge Linares said that she is going calmly because “we have achieved, in these three years, a process of implementation of the JEP, which allows us to say that we started from scratch on January 15, 2018 and today we have a 100% functioning Jurisdiction “.
Judge Eduardo Cifuentes will now be the president of the JEP.
