Santos and zuluaga engage in heated verbal exchange during presidential debate

Santos and zuluaga engage in heated verbal exchange during presidential debate
May 22, 2014 posted by Philip Acuña

Colombia’s leading presidential candidates engaged in a sharp verbal exchange during a nationally televised debate on Thursday night.

President Juan Manuel Santos and his main rival, hardliner Oscar Ivan Zuluaga, engaged in verbal fisticuffs regarding the latter’s alleged ties to the primary suspect arrested in Colombia’s most recent spying scandal.

After Zuluaga attempted to clarify his relationship with the arrested “hacker” — a relationship which has resulted in calls for his resignation — Santo’s lashed out at his rival ordering him to stop telling lies to the country.

“Doctor Ivan, asides from the video, which is a part of his scandal, Colombian’s want to know why he lied to them, why he initially said that he did not know the suspect, and then said that he met him once during his campaign,” Santos stated.
