In the middle of the act of handing over the first natural conservation contracts to peasants, Duque also responded to those who have criticized the implementation of the peace accords, the reincorporation process and insisted on the need for justice with truth, justice, reparation. and no ‘real’ repetition. “This government does not do politics with peace, it has a policy of peace with legality (…)” We do not take measures to receive applause or to receive awards, “he said.
The president referred to the progress made in the reincorporation of former combatants and the achievements of the municipalities with Development Plans with a Territorial Approach. “The facts are more eloquent than any speech, because this government does not do politics with peace, it has a politics of peace with legality.”
He affirmed that with the achievements of the peace policy with legality “Applause is not sought for the great halls, but to meet the needs of Colombians who have suffered the ravages of violence.”

This is not with paragraphs or numerals, but with effective solutions in the territory.
In his defense of the actions of his Government, Duque insisted that it is with facts that one should speak and assured that Just as vaccination must be a national purpose, so must peace legally.
At this point in his speech, Duque once again questioned those who speak of irregular groups that have committed violent acts of a political nature. “As if there were political assassinations, political kidnappings, recruitment of minors of a political nature,” said the president, who insisted that they are criminals.
In that sense, he pointed out that it is necessary for those most responsible for these events to respond and pay effective penalties.
“I will not tire of saying it, effective sanctions are required, making that call is not interfering with any power, it is defending our Constitution and defending our law, “he said.

In that sense, he referred to the vaccine acquisition process, throwing sharp darts against those who criticized and questioned him, calling the behavior of some absurd “to try to divert reality.”
“… They said that there was no agreement, that there were no contracts, that vaccines would not arrive, that those who negotiated them did not speak English, and some blatantly, absurdly, said that the country would only receive vaccines in 2023, but, the truth, the facts are those that speak eloquently, “he said.
He then recalled that a group of experts was formed, and said that well-done negotiations were carried out and the vaccine law was processed. At this point, he thanked the congressmen who approved this initiative, but clarified: “There are some who say they want to help but did not even vote on the Vaccine Law.”
Duque indicated that the beginning of the vaccination process in Sincelejo, Sucre, is a fact that should motivate the country in a single purpose, sacrificing the country forward together. “It is not tripping, it is not looking for futile criticism, it is not looking for fracture or appealing to demagoguery, that is not how Colombia is built.”
And he added: “protecting life and health is not ideological, it is neither left nor right nor center, it is a reality of common sense. We must understand that this is not a partisan cause, much less for individual triumphs or vanities, this is a collective process that requires the greatest generosity ”.
