Former President Alvaro Uribe announced at a Monday press conference that he and his party, the Centro Democratico, oppose the acquisition of uncultivated land by foreign investors.

In a press conference, Uribe said that if he wins his bid for a seat in Colombia’s senate, any laws that supports the sharing or ownership of land with foreign investors will face “hard opposition” from the right-wing Centro Democratico party.

The former president asserted that allowing for foreign investors to come in and use vacant Colombian land, is not the way to help the farmlands of Colombia.

“The foreign appropriation of land cannot be allowed. It is not a political issue but rather the protection of the reserves of these flatlands,” the former President proclaimed.
