Uribes refusal to vote on peace deal could mean his political death
by Adriaan Alsema April 5, 2018
Colombia’s state council on Wednesday agreed to investigate whether former President Alvaro Uribe should be removed from Congress for failing to vote on legislation.
The probe could have far-reaching consequences as Uribe, his presidential candidate Ivan Duque, and dozens of other congressmen could be barred from holding public office.
The high court is studying a second lawsuit that seeks the political death of both Uribe and Duque.
Congress has been nervous for weeks after a representative was removed from the House for neglecting to vote.
