Colombias ex-President Alvaro Uribe on Saturay launched one of its fiercest attacks to date on his successor, President Juan Manuel Santos, accusing him of turning Colombia into a Castrochavistic state.
In an interview with Spanish daily La Gaceta, Uribe said his successor is now showing his true face, which makes many of us panic.
Uribe said he fears Santos whose government has maintained cordial relations with both the Cuban and Venezuelan governments is aligning with the communist regime of Raul Castro in Cuba and the Bolivarian system implemented in Venezuela by that countrys late President Hugo Chavez. Both governments have received fierce criticism over their totalitarian approach to government and human rights violations.
Santos has done the complete opposite of what he proposed in the campaign of the 2010 elections in which he was elected with the support of his predecessor who also faces numerous allegations of having allowed grave human rights violations when he was president.
