The same way, Maldonado said that, despite the fact that this cessation on the fire is until May 18, the truce between criminal gangs of Buenaventura such as ‘Los Shottas’ and ‘Spartanos’ and other fire -to -fire have shown that a month is sufficient for Violent are reorganized and resume their criminal actions.

“One month is a productive time to reorganize, strengthen your runners and what you have to think It is how to have a model that allows negotiations to occur in a fairer frame and that is really bilateral, Not only, on the one hand, here what the decree says is that a commission will be created to verify the advances in a month. But the story is apparently going to be repeated, They will continue to do their criminal acts, “he added.

Meanwhile, the economic analyst said that “they take advantage of the weakening of the Armed Forces To increase their power, strengthen those criminal economies; The government has said that it was going to attack those illegal economies such as money laundering, on the contrary, You are creating these unilateral concessions, when a security model is required that defends the communities. ”

Finally, Edwin Maldonado questioned the objective of the suspension of the military offensive in the midst of a violent situation in some territories.

“What can tell the affected families when the government orders the police and the army to stop their actions? That makes no sense. Greater presence of the State is required and that is why I express myself against this decision of President Petro“He concluded.
