President Iván Duque told an international news channel today that the statement of former President Juan Manuel Santos that his government has spokespersons speaking into the ear of the president – candidate of the United States, Donald Trump, is not true.
“There was no need for us to try to influence a free pronouncement of citizens in the United States, that has never been our criteria”, said the Colombian head of state.
Previously, Juan Manuel Santos had indicated: “There are spokesmen for the current Colombian government who are calling on the Trump campaign to see how they can help And that is very serious because not only is it illegal, but it generates a reaction from the Democratic Party, which already knows that this is happening and is going to break bipartisan politics.
And to make it clear to the former president that they are not getting involved in favor of any candidate, Duque closed his answer like this: “As I never refer to any statement that is personal, I would leave it there, but always remembering a nice phrase that My father taught me, may he rest in peace, that he used to say that ‘he who makes them imagines them’ “.
Finally, the president stressed that his government is respectful of the democratic processes that are taking place in the world.
