Piedad Córdoba, in the midst of the process for ‘FarcPolítica’, returns to the Colombian Congress, amid congratulations and questions.
Colombia News.
The lawyer and political leader, Piedad Córdoba, who had already been a senator of the Republic, won a seat again this time, hand in hand with Gustavo Petro and the Historical Pact this Sunday, March 13.
This Monday, for example, the office of Justice Cristina Lombana of the Supreme Court of Justice heard three witnesses who testified in favor of the former congressman in the process for the so-called Farcpolitics.
Among other characters, Ingrid Betancourt has pointed to Córdoba as “a kidnapping broker.” Others defend the congresswoman.
Even his name has been linked to that of Alex Saab.
And in the midst of all that judicial and political mess and the political romp after the elections on March 13, the lawyer close to Chavismo, the left and liberalism, would assume her seat again in July of this year.
For many, it will be an important support for Petro’s candidacy that seeks to reach the House of Nariño, and others see it as the way out to win “a jurisdiction that shields it” from the current investigations.
As a Senator I co-authored Law 70 for Afro communities, I gave the first pro-abortion and pro-LGBTI rights debate among many initiatives. But the truth is, I feel that I am facing the greatest challenge of my political life.
