Congress orders investigation of former ministers over Uribe reelection bribe

[ocpagu]

3. That sounds familiar...

"Both ministers are implicated in what in Colombia has become known as “Yidispolitica,” a scandal that involved the bribery of at least two lawmakers who, after having been promised bribes, changed their crucial votes to favor of a constitutional amendment necessary for Uribe to run for a second term in 2006."

I wonder if he learned that from Brazil's former president Fernando Henrique Cardoso. That's precisely what Cardoso did to run for a second term in 1998.

Wouldn't be surprised. Cardoso and Uribe probably have a lot in common...

Thanks for the news.
