Uribe suggest to undo Colombia's peace process by decree
by Adriaan Alsema November 2, 2020
Colombia’s far-right former President Alvaro Uribe may have been forced out of politics, but that won’t stop him from attacking his country’s peace process.
In a video message, Uribe revived proposals to to roll back 2016 agreements made with demobilized FARC guerrillas, strip the judicial branch of its independence and reduce Congress through a referendum.
The former president’s “Let’s Take Care of The Amazon!” proposal would also seek to end “political indoctrination” in public education and eradicate poverty through a minimum income.
The former president suggested that President Ivan Duque may sign his allegedly criminal patron’s proposals into law by decree if a referendum fails or congress sinks the proposals as before.

The former president additionally proposed parole for military war criminals or suspected war criminals who have been in jail for more than five years, which would mainly benefit commanders who committed crimes under Uribe’s watch.
