Uribe’s Democratic Center party ‘was organized to commit crimes’: Colombia Congressman
Aug 27, 2014 posted by Tim Hinchliffe

A congressman from Colombia’s Conservative Party (Partido Conservador) has called for the legal disbandment of former President Alvaro Uribe’s political party following recent events surrounding the ex-president’s alleged involvement in a hacking scandal.

Congressman Arturo Yepes declared that Uribe’s Democratic Center (Centro Democratico) party was organized with the intent to commit crimes, and that the National Electoral Council (CNE) should take legal action to dismantle the party.

“The best thing that can happen to the country is the precedent this country feels that it will not organize a political cause to commit crimes against democracy, against peace and against the rule of law,” said Yepes.

The congressman’s statement comes on the heels of allegations made by accused hacker Andres Sepulveda, who claims to have spied on ongoing peace talks between the Colombian government and the FARC rebel group, the country’s largest, at the behest of the Democratic Center.

1. In light of the hacking scandal disbanding the Democratic Center party might not be a bad idea.
