Colombia’s former President Alvaro Uribe defended his government’s policy on San Andres in Congress Wednesday despite the fact that the House had canceled the debate on a recent world court ruling that granted 30,000 square miles of the Caribbean to Nicaragua.
The polemic former president decided to recite his 12-page defense before reporters despite having been notified that the House of Representatives had lifted the session during which Uribe was expected to explain his government’s actions in The Hague where the International Court of Justice is seated.
Instead of before Congress, Uribe decided to defend his policy in front of the Congress building in Bogota.
