In recent weeks, a Colombian news network, C&M, released videos of former Colombian president, Alvaro Uribe, addressing a group of Venezuelan opposition leaders at a meeting organized by Uribe supporters in Colombia. See report.
The video shows Uribe attacking Colombia’s current president, Juan Manual Santos for establishing good relations with Venezuela and urging the Venezuelan opponents of President Hugo Chavez to attack Santos and otherwise try to undermine Venezuelan-Colombian relations.
Meanwhile, Colombia’s former president is himself under investigation in Colombia for using advanced surveillance technology supplied to his DAS security department by the U.S. Embassy to surveil members of opposition parties, prosecutors and judges of Colombia’s Supreme Court. The entire DAS Department has since been abolished by the current president, Santos.
