Valencia Cossio defends Uribe

Ex Minister for the Interior and Justice Fabio Valencia Cossio joins those coming out in defense of former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, following a complaint against the retired leader before the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Valencia Cossio said that Uribe supporters “are all on the same wavelength and we will not allow President Uribe to be tainted or persecuted.”

“We are going to defend the work of his government and there is no way that we will not be at the president’s side,” said Valencia Cossio, who served in Uribe’s cabinet from June 2008 until the end of the president’s term in August 2010.
