International intervention for the suspension of Daniel Quintero, the request from the Council of Medellín

In a public letter that he made known through various channels, the president of the Council of Medellín indicated that the mayor was violated the right to due process, defense and the presumption of innocence.

Cañas, in the letter sent to international bodies, stressed that the Attorney General’s decision turned out to be very surprising in the face of a alleged improper involvement in politics.

And it is that the councilor pointed out that the measure of the Public Ministry obeyed more to an “express process” that ended with a breach of international agreements and regulations to which the Colombian State is subject.

“With this, the rule of law is ignored and it is incoherent since the country can observe how other public servants intervene in politics without being investigated and sanctioned”, Said the councilman about the measure of the Attorney General’s Office.

Cañas finally said that several projects that began in the administration of Daniel Quintero could be affected.
