Former president Alvaro Uribe has stepped up accusations that Colombia’s government is persecuting political opponents while catering to the “extreme left” as judicial pressure on his allies mounts.
Colombia’s conservative opposition leader has had a tough weekend after what has already become a tough opposition to the administration of his successor, President Juan Manuel Santos.
On Friday, former presidential candidate Oscar Ivan Zuluaga was called into questioning over his alleged role in the illegal spying on ongoing peace talks while campaigning for the 2014 – 2018 presidency.
On Saturday, Uribe’s former spy chief was arrested in Panama for her alleged role in the spying on the Supreme Court, journalists, human rights workers and politicians deemed inconvenient for the former president’s administrations.
