A report of the US Department of Defense intelligence service, dated September 1991 and released to the public recently, lists 100 principal Colombians involved in the trafficking of cocaine to the USA. On page 82 of the document there appears information that should be valued by Clóvis Rossi: “Álvaro Uribe Vélez, politician and Colombian senator, devoted himself to collaboration with the Medellín Cartel in elevated levels of the government... Uribe worked for the cartel and he is a close friend of Pablo Escobar Gaviria.” His father, Alberto Uribe Sierra, became a prisoner and had his process of extradition to the USA denied thanks to the action of an influential son. A Medellín Cartel helicopter was used in the funeral of Uribe’s father.
A “legitimate” dictator
When clearing the "legitimate" Columbian government, Rossi also hides the reasons for the civil war in this country. In the 80’s, FARC had decided to participate in the political-electoral road and established the Patriotic Union (União Patriótica, UP). More than 600 militants of this front had been assassinated, including three presidential candidates and a senator. Harshly repressed, FARC returned to the jungles and guerrilla war. Contrary to what Rossi claims, Colombia does not have democracy. The International Organization of Labor (OIT), which has nothing to do with the left, certifies that this is the most violent country in the world against social movements. As of January 2001 to December of 2006, 2,245 syndical and different leaders had been assassinated and 138 disappeared. Huge "legitimacy" Uribe possesses!
As an organic intellectual of the right, Clóvis Rossi knows all these facts well. To quote them is to teach the mass to a vicar. It happens that the journalist seems to want to renounce his past and to be more realistic than the king, adopting more and more reactionary positions. Since Lula’s victory, this conversion has accelerated. His current hobby is to attack the left. As Venício de Lima registered, in the book "Media: political crisis and power in Brazil," Rossi arrived at the nonsense to find "fingers of PT" in the murder of mining electrician Jean Charles de Menezes in London, in September of 2005. Days after its emblematic column, the English government disclosed that the Brazilian entered that country legally as tourist in May of 2002. Lula alone took office in January of 2003.
