Santiago Castro denuncia plan de Petro con Clan del Golfo para favorecer a Cepeda

El representante electo Santiago Castro acusó al presidente Gustavo Petro de levantar órdenes de captura contra líderes del Clan del Golfo para impulsar la campaña de Iván Cepeda en las elecciones presidenciales del 31 de mayo.

Castro, del Centro Democrático, afirmó que la medida busca presionar a votantes mediante grupos armados. “Todo nos lleva a pensar que el presidente le está levantando las 29 órdenes de captura a los miembros del Clan del Golfo para que puedan ir a hacerle campaña directa a su candidato Iván Cepeda”, declaró.

El congresista vinculó la acción al pacto de La Picota y aseguró que el Estado, el narcotráfico y la subversión trabajan por el mismo proyecto. Criticó la política de paz total y mencionó el asesinato de Miguel Uribe Turbay como parte del clima de inseguridad para su partido.

Castro estimó que hasta dos millones de votos para Cepeda podrían provenir de amenazas y llamó a la comunidad internacional a vigilar el proceso. Añadió que Paloma Valencia tiene la mejor oportunidad de derrotar a Cepeda en una eventual segunda vuelta.
