Three words. It is one of the shortest messages written by former President Álvaro Uribe and probably one of the most widely disseminated: “Thank God.” This is how the president reacted to the decision of the judge 30 of control of guarantees to return his freedom.
Twitter was the tool used by Uribe to communicate with the country since the Supreme Court ordered his preventive detention.
An unprecedented situation for the most influential politician of the last two decades in the country. In the first days, he reported, he had to stay isolated on his farm in El Ubérrimo, in the department of Córdoba, after having tested positive for covid-19.
There it was kept in the main house of the farm. He spent a good part of his days in a room located on the second floor of the house, where he has a kind of library and there are hammocks.
The former senator dedicated part of the conference to reading and talking with his lawyers, with whom he chatted several times a day. The same with his family.
However, EL TIEMPO established that at this time it did not neglect the political issue. And although he has not had a formal meeting with all the members of the Democratic Center bench, he has answered a large part of the congressmen by telephone.
However, he occasionally came out to the debate on Twitter. “Approving more seats in Congress, as happened in the first debate in the 1st Committee of the House, offends many Colombians. Let’s move forward with the Referendum to reduce Congress and other issues. Less bureaucratic spending, more social policy, “he wrote at the time.
And it was a tendency to oppose the indigenous Minga. In fact, he opened a thread in which he polemicized: “Be careful with the Minga: The Minga that is preparing for October 12 has a political objective: the socialist takeover of the State. they only invoke as convening factors “.
Many of his opponents criticized him on the grounds that how was it possible for him to maintain his social networks despite the preventive detention ordered by the Special Investigation Chamber of the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice.
The decision taken on August 3, approved and signed unanimously, resolved the imposition of an assurance measure of preventive detention, as an alleged determiner of the crimes of bribery of witnesses in criminal proceedings and procedural fraud.
Now, Uribe returns to freedom. And he does so by thanking God.
