Government warns: Politicians who misinform about arms trafficking will be linked to the case
The Vice Minister of Internal Affairs, dependent on the Ministry of Government, Nelson Cox, reported this Wednesday that those political actors who misinform the population about the alleged illicit arms trafficking could be linked to the case.
“Those who at this moment are trying to confuse (the population), being accomplices of what has been a massacre, being accomplices of what has been a coup d’État, think it through because they can assume the responsibilities of the links,” said the Vice Minister in contact with Radio Éxito.
He asked the assembly members of the Comunidad Ciudadana (CC) to be “more responsible” with their statements, and not to try to “confuse” the population with statements that would be promoting impunity. The authority assured that the Government is responsible for all investigations and this is demonstrated by the documentation it presented regarding the illicit entry of Argentine armament in 2019.
«There is no show here, we have documentation (…). That they reflect as assembly members and they have to be conducive with what the people want,” Cox emphasized. The authority indicated that all persons who are summoned by the Prosecutor’s Office to give their testimony as witnesses must comply with their obligation and give their version; in case of non-compliance, they could be considered accomplices. “Every citizen has the obligation to declare what he has seen,” he said.
