Colombia's ruling party sinking deeper in 2018 election fraud swamp
by Adriaan Alsema July 2, 2020
Illegal support for President Ivan Duque‘s 2018 campaign was not limited to one drug trafficking organization and Colombia’s Caribbean region, new wiretaps revealed Wednesday.
Wiretap transcripts released by newspapers El Tiempo and La Nueva Prensa further threaten the legitimacy of the president’s far-right Democratic Center (CD) party and Duque’s claim to the presidency.
. . .
The growing number of wiretap recordings incriminating the president, Uribe and the CD are slowly but surely destroying Duque’s claim to be the legitimate president of Colombia.
