Procurador Eljach pide paz electoral para comicios presidenciales

El procurador general de Colombia, Gregorio Eljach Pacheco, hizo un llamado a la ciudadanía y autoridades para garantizar comicios pacíficos el 31 de mayo y, de ser necesario, el 21 de junio.

En un comunicado publicado este martes, Eljach recordó el éxito de las elecciones legislativas del 8 de marzo, cuando la participación superó a la abstención y no se reportaron fraudes ni cancelaciones por violencia.

El funcionario exhortó al presidente Gustavo Petro a mantener neutralidad y evitar el uso de recursos oficiales con fines electorales. También advirtió a servidores públicos y contratistas sobre la prohibición de participar indebidamente en política.

Eljach pidió a las Fuerzas Militares y a la Policía extremar medidas de seguridad, y a la ciudadanía rechazar cualquier forma de violencia o desinformación en redes sociales.
