Alleged election fraudster to preside Colombia's senate while in court
by Adriaan Alsema June 18, 2020
Controversial Senator Arturo Char will have a tough year presiding over Colombia’s senate while trying to prevent the Supreme Court from destroying President Ivan Duque‘s coalition.
The conservative Radical Change party doesn’t mind having an alleged criminal in charge of the Senate, the party of the Char dynasty member has no reputation to hold high anyway.
The chances of Char being sent to jail after his July 7 Supreme Court hearing are so small that party president German Cordoba confirmed on Wednesday his party is willing to take the risk.
. . .
The big risk is that the incoming senate chief may go down before finishing his term and could take the president and his coalition with him.
