Colombian President Alvaro Uribe claimed in an radio interview Tuesday, to be have documents proving that an unnamed presidential candidate was planted in Colombia by a “foreign government” in order to “strain conditions” during the upcoming elections.
“A foreign government is trying to block Colombian presidential candidates and insert [its own] candidates into the Colombian presidency,” Uribe said.
“I have [the evidence] in my hands, that’s why I’m assuming the responsibility of denouncing it to Colombians and to international opinion, and to ask the country not to allow foreign governments to block our candidates nor impinge their own on the Colombia presidency,” Uribe said.
The Colombian president did not name the candidate in question.
