In the middle of an event with the presidential candidate Francia Márquez, the senator and also aspiring to the Presidency, Gustavo Petro, questioned the confirmation given by the Venezuelan authorities of the casualties of Henry Castellanos Garzón, alias Romaña, and Hernán Darío Hernández, alias el Paisa, in that country.
“I don’t have more information, but It is still paradoxical that these people, who resisted in Colombia for years, at a Very experienced army such as the Colombian, now die at the hands of the Venezuelan Army, that he has not got experience. Or it became very effective, or something else is happening; we just don’t know him, “said the leader of Colombia Humana.

Petro, however, ruled out that it was an operation of the Colombian Armed Forces. “I do not think it comes from the Colombian State. I cannot advance my assumptions, because I have no evidence. I don’t think they are operations on deck by the Colombian Army, because it involves intelligence work; that’s not random, because yeah, but it is a time job, which implies permanence in the territory, that an operation on deck cannot guarantee “.
Therefore, the legislator insisted that “It is a paradox that for decades these people, fighting in Colombia, were not killed, and now they have been so easily by the forces, apparently of the neighboring state. It is paradoxical and strange. A required high military capacity, which the Colombian Army did not have at the time, but the Venezuelan Army has much less, in my opinion. I can be wrong but I think there was more than just chance “.
As he was able to establish Caracol Radio, the murder of these two FARC dissidents was ordered by alias Gentil Duarte, due to drug trafficking disputes in Venezuelan territory.
