The Colombia Informa platform has highlighted in one of its articles the concern of social movements and organizations in the country, due to the Internal Commotion decree proposed by presidential candidate Rodolfo Hernández if he becomes chief executive.
“They assure that it would put democracy and the freedoms of citizens at risk, as well as the guarantee of the rights enshrined in the 1991 constitution. In 2002 Álvaro Uribe was sworn in and four days later he decreed the same measure to promote his policy of democratic security, in violation of International Humanitarian Law -IHL- in Colombia”, the Colombian media reported.
