Colombia: Political offensive targets Pacto Histórico movement
Political sectors in Colombia are engaging in an offensive against the Pacto Histórico movement, attempting to frame the political organization as a criminal group or 'BACRIM'. This strategy aims to delegitimize the movement, isolate it socially, and demoralize its political base.
Observers note that upcoming reports, such as the 'Libro de la Verdad' expected by the end of September, may be part of a broader effort to use judicial and media channels to criminalize an entire political project rather than simply investigating individual acts of corruption. While individual legal responsibilities must be addressed by competent institutions, there is a distinction between judicial investigation and the political operation of stigmatizing an entire political movement.
