De la U wants parliamentary immunity

One day after yet another of his party's Congressmen arrest for alleged ties to paramilitary death squads, Partido de la U leader Luis Carlos Restrepo wants to discuss granting parliamentary immunity to members of Congress.


In a meeting with President Alvaro Uribe Restrepo said members of Congress feel they are not protected and that is why it is necessary to "publicly open the debate about creating a constitutional reform and to take up this important topic on parliamentary immunity again."

This meeting with Uribe comes one day after the Supreme Court called for Partido de la U member Senator Zulema Jattin's arrest.

Restrepo stressed the importance of considering the consequences of making the decision to arrest Congressmen. He said the outcome has great impact and can drastically change the regional and national political map of Colombia.

Apparently he believes they've "whuuped" the country so bad no one will dare to stop them when push comes to shove, since he can simply turn the death squads after anyone who gets in his way.

It's like holding a huge gun on the entire country, with no one left to present a serious challenge. No one who'll be around very long, that is.

Cheating, lying, stealing, backstabbing blood-feeding a-holes. One day their luck is going to run out.

Very disgusting.
