The two ex leaders of Spain and Colombia were being presented with an award
The ex leaders of Spain and Colombia, José María Aznar and Álvaro Uribe, were in Madrid on Wednesday to collect the ‘La Puerta del recuerdo’ international prize for ‘their dedicated fight against terrorism and commitment to the victims’.
However there was a noisy welcome for them outside the Casino de Madrid as dozens of demonstrators from left wing groups and family members of disappeared people from Colombia held a protest, demanding that the two men be taken before the International Court of Justice.
They carried placards alleging crimes against humanity and showing photos of some of those missing and accused the Aznar Government of being complicit with the Uribe administration at the time. The demonstrators were joined by platforms in solidarity with Cuba and Venezuela.
