Maria Clara Posada identified the woman in a photo from a demonstration supporting the JEP, driven by Alejandro Ramelli, as Victoria Sanguino, a member of the FARC whom she described as being accused of being responsible for hundreds of forced abortions and the recruitment of minors. Posada asked if anyone remembered another case in which alleged perpetrators participated in a demonstration to support their judge and said she did not recall seeing Nicolás Maduro support the Department of Justice. She also maintained that the scene was another example of a biased court that, according to her, prioritized criminals and forgot about the victims. #Justicia #DerechosHumanos #Paz (translated)

Luis Carlos Vélez asked if the JEP was aware of the meetings between Timochenko and Nicolás Maduro. He pointed out that the new indictment from the United States against Maduro mentioned an exchange of drugs for explosives and possible impacts on the United States and Colombia. He added that the issue was escalating and referred to his column in Revista Semana. https://t.co/E6kJxhhltu #Maduro #Timochenko #JEP (translated)

The Baron of Øresund wrote that a new video, in his opinion, showed a Danish helicopter flying close to a Russian warship, and that the helicopter may have itself been the provocateur in the episode. He referred to Defense Minister Jeppe Bruus calling the video a Russian misinformation campaign and saying that some of the material did not originate from the day in question. The Baron of Øresund asked which parts did, and whether it included the footage of the helicopter near the ship. If it did, he believed that the Russians were justified in reacting as they did, under international law. He wrote that the Folketing and the media should demand answers, but that he did not have high hopes that they would do so. #forsvarspolitik #russiskkrig #modinformation (translated)

Melquisedec Torres stated that, according to the formal accusation by the United States justice system against Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flórez, Maduro negotiated drugs with the FARC in exchange for explosive mines and weapons, which he claimed were used to assassinate many Colombians. He added that these dealings had allegedly continued at least until 2017, after the signing of the Havana Peace Agreement. Torres requested that the Colombian Prosecutor's Office immediately seek collaboration from the United States to access that information and prosecute those involved. He pointed out Rodrigo Londoño, also known as Timoleón Jiménez or Timochenko, among them, and claimed that, according to the accusation, Iván Márquez and Jesús Santrich were also said to have participated, of whom he said was allegedly dead. Furthermore, he asked whether TimoComunes and other leaders had informed the JEP about that alliance, and if the court had questioned them about it or other alliances. #Maduro #FARC #Colombia (translated)

Salud Hernández-Mora said that she was listening to Timochenko's secret hearing before the JEP and maintained that it should be fully known so that each person could draw their own conclusions. She claimed that, in her opinion, he did not show remorse and emphasized that he had said he acted within his "principles and values." #Timochenko #JEP #Colombia (translated)

Maria Clara Posada stated that the FARC had used the JEP to improve their image and justify their actions, and said that new revelations had upset Timochenko and the court. According to Posada, within the framework of macrocase 01 on kidnappings, on March 15, 2019, it was claimed that the FARC had not taken up arms to kidnap and enrich themselves, that the figures on kidnappings were inflated, and that these had not been used to enrich their leaders or a small group. #FARC #Justicia #Colombia (translated)

Salud Hernández-Mora questioned how the captivity of people for 3, 5, 7, or 10 years could be called “good treatment” and stated that they were being tested on how to kill them if military forces appeared. She also labeled the JEP as a shame and accused Santos of trampling democracy and selling his principles to obtain a Nobel Prize. #Justicia #Democracia #Colombia (translated)

Maria Clara Posada stated that, as a congresswoman, she had the right to oversee every peso of public resources spent in the institution, which she wrote was created in Havana. She asked what prevented the country from knowing about the parties and fairs that, she claimed, were held during the hearings, and said that the victims had not received any real compensation. Posada claimed that Timochenko and people around him would not intimidate her and accused them of having treated thousands of kidnapped individuals with humiliation, torture, and murder, in contrast to the description that they were "like in a five-star hotel." She also maintained that in that case, no crime was committed because she did not have the duty to safeguard the information, and said that Timochenko had studied law within the framework of the JEP. She added that his disagreement motivated her to continue investigating. https://t.co/ADKX9E6Fcy #ControlPolítico #Justicia #DerechosHumanos (translated)

Vicky Dávila stated that congresswoman María Clara Posada continued to expose what she described as the deplorable situation of the JEP. She also called the smile of a magistrate repulsive and described a man as a crime against humanity, while accusing the justice system of acting in a submissive and sycophantic manner. #Justicia #DerechosHumanos #Colombia (translated)

Enrique Gómez criticized the JEP and its president, Ramelli. He stated that during Petro's government, the budget to protect victims was reduced by 92.4%, while the general budget of the entity increased year after year, and he asserted that there were no public objections at that time. Gómez said that after they managed to cut the JEP's budget for 2027 by 170 billion pesos, Ramelli reacted and indicated that the protection of victims would be the first thing to be cut. The author described that stance as contradictory and said that the JEP was a disgrace. #JEP #Petro #Víctimas (translated)

Maria Clara Posada wondered whether the magistrates of the JEP had treated soldiers and police who refused to take responsibility and defended their innocence with the same kindness, despite the fact that, according to her, they faced an adverse tribunal where they were practically condemned. She also questioned whether the FARC had shown the same consideration towards those affected by the recruitment of children, the rapes, the forced abortions, the extortions, the kidnappings, and the murders that she mentioned. Posada added that calling a media outlet to reprimand it and ask for greater leniency in reporting on a criminal group did not seem to her to be characteristic of a court of justice, but rather of a brotherhood. #Justicia #Colombia #DerechosHumanos (translated)

Daniel F. Briceño argued that the budget cuts he pushed for the JEP were justified. He described the entity as wasteful and claimed that it worked for the perpetrators and was incapable of judging the main responsible parties for drug trafficking, kidnapping, terrorism, and human rights violations. He added that it deserved those and other cuts. #Justicia #DerechosHumanos #Presupuesto (translated)

Robert Ágh wrote that he watched the debate with Juchelka and questioned his intelligence, professional competence, and ability to respond. He claimed that Juchelka disregarded the long-term sustainability of pensions and clung to his ministerial chair as part of a political survival strategy. He concluded his contribution with the words "Hold on, pioneer!" #politika #debata #důchody (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) should continue as long as the armed conflict persisted, which he attributed to mercantile reasons. He also requested that it regain the powers outlined in the peace agreement to investigate third parties involved and act as the highest tribunal on the truth of the conflict. Petro mentioned that the peace process between the State and the FARC was conceived to be fulfilled in 12 years, but it suffered paralysis during the administrations of Duque and Abelardo. He claimed that it had only been executed for one year during Santos' government and four during his own. He added that by 2028, three million hectares would not be delivered to farmers and that the SAE showed willingness to return goods to drug traffickers. The president pointed out that the JEP had lost functions granted by the agreement, including examining the relationship between drug trafficking and the conflict. He asserted that the failure to comply with the agreement strengthened coca leaf cultivation and armed groups in the service of drug trafficking during Duque's government, and maintained that the JEP could address the crimes outlined in the Rome Statute in this new phase of the conflict. He also stated that the submission of drug traffickers and their armed groups to the JEP would help Colombia move away from drug trafficking. #PazColombia #JEP #ConflictoArmado (translated)

The eviction of 87-year-old Maricarmen from the apartment where she lived for over 70 years (after the change of building ownership, she received new, prohibitive conditions - an increase in rent from 500 euros to 2,650 euros per month) represented an eruption of social anger in Spain. https://t.co/JepwlrucYI #Hiszpania #eksmisja #społeczeństwo #ES (translated)

The minimum sanction from the JEP was not enough for him after decades of kidnapping, recruitment, and terror. Now Timochenko, the same guerrilla leader, asks for more bodyguards as if he were a head of state. Six trucks are not enough for him. In the JEP, everything is disproportionate: little punishment for the offender and privileges paid for by the victims. https://t.co/pOA89sAdi6 #Justicia #Colombia #DerechosHumanos (translated)
