Santos’ son takes selfie with Uribe

Santos’ son takes selfie with Uribe
Sep 12, 2014 posted by Adriaan Alsema



The son of Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos on Thursday published a selfie with his father’s predecessor and fiercest political opponent, Senator Alvaro Uribe, in support of a campaign to promote peace and reconciliation.

Santos published his photo with Uribe –not the real one but a portrait – on Twitter accompanied with the hashtag #SoyCapaz (I am able), which has been promoted by the country’s corporations, media and Catholic church to promote reconciliation while the government is negotiating peace with the country’s largest rebel group, the FARC.



The hashtag has been used by all kinds of prominent Colombians to support the reconciliation campaign of business association ANDI and supported by almost all Colombia’s mass media and a vast number of stars.
