From President Petro of Colombia:
"Today I will check if Trump's words in English translate as the national press says. Therefore, later I will respond to them once I know what Trump's illegitimate threat really means.
As for Mr. Rubio, who separates the president's authorities and says that the president does not want to collaborate while the authorities do; I request that he read the Constitution of Colombia because his information is completely wrong, it is the product of interests of Colombian politicians linked familially or commercially to the mafia, who want the breakup of relations between the US and Colombia so that cocaine narcotrafficking explodes in the world.I ordered the removal of several intelligence colonels from my police for giving false information against the state. Don't let Rubio be believing those fallacies.
The President of Colombia is the supreme commander of the military and police forces of Colombia by constitutional order, a constitution from 34 years ago that my movement made after laying down arms in the insurgency and signing a Pact: a new constitution by popular election of the National Constituent Assembly.My movement, the M19, previously risen up in insurgent arms, won the first relative vote by lists of constituents elected by the people. It was our first electoral victory. With other forces and in respect for pluralism and diversity, we made a Pact: the new constitution of Colombia that had to build a social state under the rule of law in search of guaranteeing the fundamental and universal rights of the people.
Well then, as supreme commander of the military forces and always protected by the constitution, I ordered the largest seizure of cocaine in world history, I stopped the growth of coca leaf crops and began a great voluntary crop substitution plan by the coca-growing peasant. The process is at 30,000 hectares of coca and it is my priority as a public policy of crop substitution, I direct that policy. Under my orders, El Plateado, Cauca, the Wall Street of cocaine, was taken, which previous governments let grow. I have ordered bombings respecting all norms of humanitarian law and with the killing and capture of first-order commanders of armed groups subordinated to narcotrafficking. They, in their tactic, recruit minors so that their leaders are not bombed.
If you bomb even one of these groups without sufficient intelligence, you will kill many children.
If you bomb peasants, thousands of guerrillas will return in the mountains.
And if you arrest the president whom a good part of my people want and respect, you will unleash the popular jaguar.
Every soldier of Colombia has an order from now on: every commander of the public force who prefers the flag of the US to the flag of Colombia must immediately withdraw from the institution by order of the bases and the troops and mine. The constitution orders the public force to defend popular sovereignty.
Although I have not been a military man, I know about war and clandestinity. I swore not to touch a weapon again since the 1989 Peace Pact, but for the Homeland I will take up arms again that I do not want.I am not illegitimate, nor am I a narco, I only have as assets my family home that I still pay for with my salary. My bank statements have been published. No one could say that I have spent more than my salary. I am not greedy.
I have enormous trust in my people and that is why I have asked the people to defend the president from any illegitimate violent act against him. The way to defend me is to take power in all the municipalities of the country. The order to the public force is not to shoot the people but yes to the invader.I don't speak just to speak, I trust in the people and in the history of Colombia that Mr. Rubio has not read.
I trust in the soldier who knows he is a son of Bolívar and his tricolor flag.
So know that you are facing a commander of the people. Free Colombia forever.
Officers of Bolívar, break ranks and march at the step of victors."
