Colombia: Uribes party bound to lose, vows not to recognize election results
May 20, 2014 Sabina Becker
If you ever wonder where the Venezuelan fascists got their attitudes from, look no further than across the border, in Colombia. There, a similar attitude toward peace processes prevails on the Colombian far-right
and specifically, in the party of a certain ex-president, currently a senator, and still heavily under suspicion as a paramilitary narcotrafficker and notorious little thug:
More:After elected senators of the Democratic Centre Party warned that the upcoming election does not give them confidence, thanks to previous results in parliamentary elections, the minister of the Interior, Aurelio Iragorri, rejected these assertions and said that all due process would be guaranteed.
This is an absolutely unacceptable occurrence a statement from any politician that if he wins the elections he will recognize the election results, but if he loses he wont recognize the results, Iragorri said.
Iragorri added that these statements seek to delegitimize the electoral process and the results of the same.
All due processes will be guaranteed for all political parties participating with candidates in these elections, so that people can vote in a free and transparent manner, and without any type of pressure, he assured.
Vice-presidential candidate Germán Vargas Lleras had already threatened, in an interview with Vanguardia Liberal, that the Democratic Centre party was preparing to not recognize the election results.

He'll try anything he thinks he can handle. He's totally power mad, he loves the control.

Stroessner was just fine with the U.S., A-O.K, even when he gave haven to the evil Nazi butcher, the filthy Dr. Mengele.
I wouldn't think you'd forget about the pure filth, murderer of innocents, Alfredo Stroessner.
