Colombia: Uribe’s party bound to lose, vows not to recognize election results
May 20, 2014 — Sabina Becker

If you ever wonder where the Venezuelan fascists got their attitudes from, look no further than across the border, in Colombia. There, a similar attitude toward peace processes prevails on the Colombian far-right…and specifically, in the party of a certain ex-president, currently a senator, and still heavily under suspicion as a paramilitary narcotrafficker and notorious little thug:

After elected senators of the Democratic Centre Party warned that the upcoming election “does not give them confidence”, thanks to previous results in parliamentary elections, the minister of the Interior, Aurelio Iragorri, rejected these assertions and said that all due process would be guaranteed.

“This is an absolutely unacceptable occurrence — a statement from any politician that if he wins the elections he will recognize the election results, but if he loses he won’t recognize the results,” Iragorri said.

Iragorri added that these statements seek to “delegitimize the electoral process and the results of the same.”

“All due processes will be guaranteed for all political parties participating with candidates in these elections, so that people can vote in a free and transparent manner, and without any type of pressure,” he assured.

Vice-presidential candidate Germán Vargas Lleras had already threatened, in an interview with Vanguardia Liberal, that the Democratic Centre party was “preparing” to not recognize the election results.

1. I wonder what Uribe's party is going to do after not recognizing

the election results.

2. I could see him trying to enlist US military help in taking over the overnment,

claiming he was the rightful winner.

He'll try anything he thinks he can handle. He's totally power mad, he loves the control.

3. EX-president Uribe power mad?

I am aware of a latin American leader who was in power 50 years and another one for 14. What's your take on them?

4. I think you've overlooked the one who was iin power for 35 years, who committed genocide,

and had the children of the Native Paraguayan citizens he murdered sold as slave to householders.

Stroessner was just fine with the U.S., A-O.K, even when he gave haven to the evil Nazi butcher, the filthy Dr. Mengele.

I wouldn't think you'd forget about the pure filth, murderer of innocents, Alfredo Stroessner.

5. ahhh, so we probably shouldn't include Uribe with those long ruling dictatorial types then

with regards to being power mad. Seems like Colombia has come to recognize that the government isn't the man while other nations not so much.
