Interior Minister Armando Benedetti responded that day by expressing solidarity with the people of Cali and Valle del Cauca. "After the events in the city of Cali, I solidarize with the people of Cali and Vallecaucano; what happened is once again an atrocity against life, democracy, and the country; it is a problem for all," he stated.
Benedetti said he had spoken with Cali's mayor, Alejandro Eder. He announced specific actions: "we will take measures with intelligence, more troop presence, and we will convene the necessary meetings with the National Security Council."
