“I demand the immediate disbursement of basic income”he continued, to show himself “surprised” due to the proposal issued by the Minister of Justice, Ángela María Buitrago, “about the sanctions model of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), in which penal colonies are emulated” and he questioned him: “Is that your government’s model of justice for peace?”
London too regretted the murder of four peace signatories in the month of December, which means that since the signing of the agreement, 443 ex-combatants have been murdered, according to the figures of the former head of the FARC, who requested “guarantees for peace signatories.”
“The people elected him to consolidate peace in Colombia. The cornerstone of his Total Peace policy was compliance with the Peace Agreement between the State and the extinct FARC-EP. I ask that he honor the Agreement and the popular mandate that elected him president”Londono concluded.
