Santos supports Uribe in treason claims

20 de agosto de 2010

Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos rejected an NGO’s accusation that former president Álvaro Uribe’s signing of a military pact with the U.S. was an act of treason. "I express my vehement rejection of these unfounded and unfair accusations of those who did nothing more than serve our country and the interests of the Colombian people", Santos said, and continued: “As defense minister, I was the one who initiated negotiations for this agreement. So, to the ones who did the accusations, include me in the denunciation. I would be honored”.
