Fuerte choque entre el fiscal Francisco Barbosa y el ministro de Defensa Iván Velásquez: “Mientras yo sea fiscal general no habrá ninguna comisión de la ONU en Colombia”

So I read this wild article about a heated exchange between the Colombian Attorney General Francisco Barbosa and Defense Minister Ivan Velasquez. Apparently, Barbosa is refusing to allow a UN commission to investigate human rights violations in the country while he’s in power. The argument got pretty intense, and even resulted in Velasquez threatening to resign if Barbosa didn’t reconsider.

Honestly, it’s super concerning to see government officials blocking independent investigations like this. It’s a serious issue that needs to be addressed. In my opinion, the only way to make progress towards a more just and fair society is by shining a light on these human rights abuses, not covering them up.

I just hope that more people will speak out and demand transparency from our leaders. It can be frustrating to feel powerless in situations like these, but I really believe that collective action can make a difference. We can’t let the people in power get away with impunity.
