Garcia Marquez is going to hell: Congresswoman-elect

Garcia Marquez is going to hell: Congresswoman-elect
Apr 18, 2014 posted by Alexandra Jolly

Colombian House Representative-elect caused outrage on social media on Thursday by stating that recently deceased author Gabriel Garcia Marquez is going to hell for his friendships with leftist leaders and his own leftist political ideals.

Maria Fernanda Cabal, Senator-elect for the right-wing Democratic Center (Centro Democratico – CD) party of former President Alvaro Uribe, posted a picture on twitter of Garcia Marquez with his friend, former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, captioned: “soon they will be together in hell.”

The original tweet was subsequently removed from Senator Cabal’s page but further, equally negative tweets in her defense soon followed.

Cabal posted tweets with captions such as “what a productive friendship! Millionaire communists,” as well as a map of the proximity of Garcia Marquez’s home to Fidel Castro’s entitled “Gabo’s mansion adjoining that of satanic prince Fidel.”
