Two congressmen convicted for parapolitics



Colombia's Supreme Court sentenced two congressmen for having signed a pact with paramilitary organization AUC in 2001.

The criminal division sentenced Reginaldo Montes (Cambio Radical) and Juan Manuel Lopez (Liberal Party) to six year in jail. Montes will also have to pay a 900 million peso (US$ 44 thousand) fine.

Both congressmen signed the 2001 Ralito Pact, an agreement between politicians, businessmen and far right paramilitaries to secure political power.

This is an inevitable problem, if you politic do it well.

Thank you from us too Sarah, but you're not going anywhere get ready for the next round, it's really a lot easier than anyone thinks just do this, love what God loves and hate what God hates and remember your own book, in the end many will call his name and he will say, I do not know you.

There will come a time in the not too far future when morals are going to look really good to the people and don't be radical. Home first and i know you know the rules. Be any faith, I can follow. I can follow perfectly, be any faith at all.
