Strong criticism in different political sectors generated the statements made from Spain by President Gustavo Petro, who assured that he is the head of the Attorney General of the Nation, Francisco Barbosa.
Hours later, prosecutor Barbosa rejected that statement. “This is a very serious demonstration against judicial independence in Colombia and the division of powers. These statements put the existence of the rule of law at risk. said.
“I, as attorney general, was elected by the Supreme Court of Justice, and the president is not my boss, nor does he investigate me, nor am I under his orders. His statement would imply that the Supreme Court of Justice is also a subordinate of the President of the Republic ”, added the head of the investigative entity.
Criticism for the president’s statements was added in the last few hours by former presidential candidate Federico Gutiérrez, who stated that Petro is “revealing” who he is.
“Petro is revealing what we always knew he was: a populist on his way to becoming a dictator,” Gutiérrez said on his Twitter account.
