Attorney General Gregorio Eljach Pacheco stated that institutions endure beyond elections and defended electoral peace during a summit in Bogotá.
During the First International Summit of Autonomous and Control Institutions held Tuesday in Bogotá, Eljach Pacheco noted that Colombia has shown greatness, maturity and civility by overcoming apocalyptic announcements about the electoral process. The official stressed that there has been no fraud and that the results are available for examination. He highlighted the role of control bodies and called for rejecting disinformation via social networks and the electromagnetic spectrum. National Registrar Hernán Penagos echoed concerns over disinformation, while Comptroller General Carlos Rodríguez urged lowering the tone of criticism and setting an example of institutional independence.
