written by Adriaan Alsema September 21, 2017
Colombia’s hard-right opposition was embarrassed on Wednesday after the wife of a senator threatened to get off an airplane for falsely believing a fellow passenger was a demobilized guerrilla.
Opposition Senator Alfredo Ramos (Democratic Center), whose father is accused of having ties to paramilitary death squads, was forced to publish his wife’s apology after uproar over the false accusation.

Juliana Hernandez, who deleted her Twitter account after the incident, had used the social media service to publicly complain about airliner Avianca for not allowing her off the plane.
Hernandez, the daughter of the late senator and newspaper tycoon Jorge Hernandez, on Tuesday published a photo of a man wearing a Cuban baseball cap, claiming the fellow passenger was a FARC guerrilla.
