ALL COVER UP
February 22, 2020

Did the country shake with the discovery of a drug laboratory on the farm of the Colombian ambassador to Uruguay Fernando San clemente? Was there enough media coverage and coverage in public media for society to know fully what kind of official is the Lord?



Little noise made such a serious event that a public official of such category owns a drug laboratory on his property should be a reason for the entire government to investigate, but the investigations will not take place because Ambassador San Clemente is one of his own.

Mr. San Clemente has been close to Uribe, his name was heard when he was director of the Aero Civil in 2006, the year in which drugs were allegedly sent to El Gupo with the complicity of that body, the government and the same Republic President.

. . .

The government of the day awarded an alleged drug trafficker with an embassy, ​​but, despite the seriousness of the accusations, not enough investigations have been given, NEITHER WILL THEY GIVE.

Why? the new attorney general Francisco Barbosa apart from being close to the government and President Duque has within his cabinet in one of the high positions the wife of the comptroller Felipe Córdoba who in turn has Francisco Barbosa's wife as delegated comptroller of the environment. Many companies prohibit having close family or affinity ties because this would hinder the exercise of their functions and authority, but this is not the case with the government, where "trusted" friends and relatives are appointed to high and important positions, therefore, the comptroller's office and the public prosecutor's office will be silenced by the serious events that dot the government and its ambassador.

But it does not end here, the Ambassador San Clemente was also the one who washed the blame of former President Uribe in the named assassination of Pedro Juan Moreno, when he prepared a report from the Aero Civil to describe the shooting down of the helicopter where Moreno died as an accident.
