Regarding the death of the soldier to which Cabal refers, Márquez assured: “I regret the death of the soldier and express my solidarity with his family. It is not because he transported me that the soldier would have died. We can verify if on December 30 (2022) I traveled by plane or by helicopter and, even if I had, the State has more than 100 helicopters at its disposal”.
