Diciembre 20 de 2013. En entrevista con el canal de TV CNN, el Alcalde Mayor de Bogotá, Gustavo Petro, aseguró que respalda un proceso de revocatoria o confirmación de su mandato ya que es un proceso democrático en el que el pueblo elige y no un abuso del poder como el que se presentó con la decisión de la Procuraduría General de la Nación, que a través de un acto administrativo pretende cegar los derechos de los ciudadanos.

"La revocatoria es una decisión popular absolutamente legítima, aquí no estamos protestando por eso, es parte de las reglas del juego de la democracia, aquí estamos denunciando la arbitrariedad y el abuso del poder,", señaló Petro.

El mandatario de los capitalinos indicó que invita a la ciudadanía a elegir a través del voto popular si prefieren que su gobierno continúe en la ciudad haciendo valer el voto popular como un camino a la paz del país.

"Creo que Colombia no ha cambiado su criterio en cuanto a que el voto popular no sirve, una definición de que el voto popular no sirve, de que no vale la pena elegir es un llamado a la violencia que nosotros no podemos consentir, nosotros queremos insistir de que el camino de Colombia no puede ser otro que el de la paz por eso vamos a invitar a la ciudadanía para que confirme el mandato en las urnas", señaló el burgomaestre.

El alcalde Petro también manifestó que su destitución es un llamado a la violencia ya que se está asegurando que en Colombia no vale la pena elegir los gobiernos que los ciudadanos consideren que deben estar en el poder.

"Es un golpe a la democracia que tiene un objetivo, dado que yo soy precisamente un hombre que se levantó en armas, que hizo la paz y que con el voto popular fue congresista, senador y luego como Alcalde de Bogotá, el procurador ha lanzado un mensaje, que significa que no es posible gobernar con los que dejaron las armas. Decir que no vale la pena elegir es un llamado a la violencia", manifestó el alcalde Petro.

Finalmente, afirmó que "Los resultados de la Comisión Interamericana son de obligatorio cumplimiento en Colombia por decisión de nuestra Constitución.

"Integrista derechista elimina validez de voto popular", dijo el Alcalde Gustavo Petro @petrogustavo en entrevista con CNN en Washington DC, al referirse a la ilegal destitución pretendida por el Procurador Ordoñez. 

Ello implica una violación de la Convención Interamericana de Derechos Humanos y pide salvar la democracia.

El Alcalde solicitó a la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos medidas cautelares para la protección de los derechos ciudadanos y del derecho a la paz, consagrados en la Constitución Política de Colombia.

Petro también invitó a los ciudadanos a inscribir la cédula antes del domingo 22 de diciembre para votar en febrero por la continuidad del gobierno de Bogotá Humana.

 Die Pardons der kolumbianischen Prokurator 

 Les grâces du procurateur colombien 

Juan Pablo Barrientos Hoyos, @ juanpbarrientos, a journalist from the radio program La-Fm, did some research on some strange attitudes of the Colombian Procurator, which was published in elespectador.com:

Some Pardons of the Columbian Procurator:

1. The former senator Alvaro Araújo was sentenced by the Supreme Court to nine years and three months in prison because "it was part of a criminal structure and its links with Jorge 40." According to the 2009 statement from the office of Procurator "no documentary evidence of these alleged illegal connections" and therefore calls his acquittal. In August 2010, absolves disciplinary.
2. The former senator Ivan Mateus Diaz was sentenced in 2009 to 72 months in prison in the process known as Yidispolítica. That same year, the office of Procurator asked acquit him "after analyzing different answers on the same subject submitted by Yiddish Medina in various statements to the Supreme Court".
3. In 2010, Colonel Alfonso Plazas Vega was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the disappearance of 11 people during the operation to retake the Palace of Justice in 1985. In September 2009, the office of Procurator "asked the Third Criminal Court of the Specialized Circuit of Bogotá to give judgment of acquittal in favor of the accused, as there is not sufficient evidence to establish the direct responsibility of the retired official with the disappearance of eight people rescued by members of the army who were taken to the house of the vase and whose whereabouts are still unknown". In 2011 and 2012, again, demands that this sentence fall over.
4. The former senator Mario Uribe (family of former President Uribe) was sentenced to seven years and six months in prison for paramilitary activity in 2011. However, since 2009, the office of Procurator is asking for absolution "should disregard the testimony of Salvatore Mancuso as invalid".
5. Captured in 2007, the former senator Mauricio Pimiento Barrera was sentenced in 2013 to seven years in prison and payment of minimum wages 2000 for ties to paramilitaries. The Office, meanwhile, believes the former senator is innocent because "it is not clear that there actually sure if he had allied with illegal groups in order to stay in the Congress during the period Constitution from 2002 to 2006".
6. Captured in 2007, the former senator Mauricio Pimiento Barrera was sentenced in 2013 to seven years in prison and payment of minimum wages 2000 for ties to paramilitaries. Procurator's office on the contrary, believes the former senator is innocent because "it is not clear that there actually sure if he had allied with illegal groups in order to stay in Congress during the constitutional period from 2002 to 2006".
7. For the crime of forced disappearance during the retaking of the Palace of Justice, was sentenced in 2011 to 35 years General (R) Jesús Armando Arias Cabrales. Procurator's office asked him absolution in 2010 because "it is impossible to ignore that full evidence to conclude with certainty about the linkages of General Arias Cabrales with such disappearances were not provided".
8. Humberto de Jesus Builes Ortega, former senator of Antioquia, was sentenced to 90 months in prison and payment of minimum wages 2600 for ties to paramilitaries. Procurator's office in 2010, asked his acquittal because "there is no real evidence to prove that former Sen. Correa Builes had committed his election to Congress with the support of armed groups outside the law".
9. For links to the paramilitaries and criminal conspiracy, was sentenced in 2012 to 90 months in prison former Senator Oscar Josue Reyes. However, since 2010, the Office requested acquittal because it found "that the evidence collected in the investigation, doubt is against the existence of the crime of conspiracy, because no evidence of actions or decisions were found by of the former senator, as a candidate or member of Congress, as a promoter of illegal armed groups".
10. Last year former senator Javier Cáceres was sentenced  to 9 years in prison due to paramilitary activities in politics. The attorney asked for his acquittal because "there is little evidence linking the former senator with the paramilitaries". Already in 2010 requested the Council of State to maintain the post of senator.
11. In 2013, the Supreme Court sentenced to 9 years imprisonment to former Senator Fuad Rapag by paramilitary activity in politics. Procurator's office, immediately called for his acquittal discarded because "he had established political agreements with armed groups outside the law".
12. In the same sentence Rapag, Antioquia exsenador See Oscar Suarez was convicted of paramilitary activity and political. The Procurator, from 2012, called for his acquittal because "credible documentary or testimonial evidence that would allow infer the relationship or nexus of former senator and paramilitary groups were not gathered".
13. This year Col. Hernán Mejía Gutiérrez was convicted for Paramilitarism and False Positives. The Office of the Prosecutor asked for his acquittal because the colonel always "respected international humanitarian law".
14. In 2011, Juan Pablo Sanchez, former representative to the House by Caldas, was sentenced to 90 months in prison and a fine of 3,400 million pesos for ties to paramilitaries and aggravated conspiracy. The Procurator asked for the acquittal because it found "no sufficient evidence to support the aid paramilitaries allegedly loaned Sánchez's candidacy".
15. In 2012 Senator Mario Nader was sentenced to 90 months in prison for ties to paramilitaries. According to the Procurator, "no witnesses or documentary evidence that would allow infer political benefits or ties by the former senator with the Elmer Cardenas Bloc of the AUC were presented." Procurator's office asked for his acquittal.
16. Although not convicted, the Procurator now called for the immediate release of Luis Alfredo Ramos, former governor of Antioquia, and Oscar Arboleda, Parliamentary Andino. Both marked for alleged links to paramilitaries. Both innocent until a judge of the Republic decides otherwise.
