Why I couldn’t possibly vote for Zuluaga
Why I couldn’t possibly vote for Zuluaga
Jun 13, 2014 posted by Nicolas Bedoya
Two family members of mine were assassinated in a tucked away town called San Carlos, Antioquia. Paramilitary groups that were linked with presidential candidate Oscar Ivan Zuluaga’s patron, Alvaro Uribe, killed my cousin and uncle in some of the most merciless ways possible.
My uncle, Mariano Bedoya, was shot six times in the back and my cousin, Victor Velasquez, was beheaded and thrown into the San Carlos reservoir by the paramilitaries.
According to ‘Verdad Abierta,’ the town of San Carlos suffered the third highest number of registered massacres in Antioquia behind Medellin and Turbo (both of which are cities) and the sixth highest number in all of Colombia.
The National Historic Commission for Memory, Reparation, and Reconciliation wrote over 400 pages on San Carlos alone stating that, “The recent history of San Carlos condenses the horrors of the Colombian conflict. All the armed actors with all their strategies of war were present in this town of Eastern Antioquia.”
