In Yumbo, the alarm remains in the face of reports of threats against four members of opposition parties.
One of them is Alianza Verde, which has been the target of political violence in recent years in this industrial town in Valle del Cauca.
They are four councilors who fear for their lives and insist that the authorities implement a greater security device to preserve their integrity.

They are opposition lobbyists William Henao, from Alianza Verde; Fernando David Murgueitio, from Cambio Radical; William Jaramillo, from MAIS, and Andrés Cruz, from ASI.
According to Alianza Verde, councilor William Henao “received anonymous threats on his WhatsApp account, related to his political control activities that he carries out as a member of the opposition caucus before the mayor’s office of that municipality, especially with the public denunciations by the (alleged) excessive number of contracts for the provision of services during electoral times”.
According to the party, they far exceed what happens in other mayors’ offices in larger municipalities in Valle del Cauca.

The mayor of Yumbo, Jhon Jairo Santamaría, said that he accompanies the complaint so that the Prosecutor’s Office investigates.
“The function of the councilors is covered by justice, the law and the Political Constitution, therefore, I respect their function and their actions focused on the respective controls and complaints,” added the president.
Valley with risks due to violence and fraud in elections
In the Electoral Observation Mission (MOE) they worked on a map of electoral risks in Cali with members of the Awamuy research hotbed, from the Javeriana University.
The information threw risks due to fraud and violence in 24 polling stations in Cali, some in communes 13, 14 and 15 of Aguablanca. But they would be greater in 14. There would also be risks in commune 21, also in the east, and in 20, where Siloé is, on the hillside.

Another municipality in the Valley with factors indicative of electoral fraud and factors of violence is Buga.
The Cairo municipality, in the north, has a medium risk of fraud in Chamber elections due to fraud, while Versailles, for Senate.
Municipalities at risk of violence, with a high and extreme risk index are Cali, Yumbo, Bolívar and Buenaventura. In this list of high risks, according to the EOM, Buga, Florida, Jamundí and Tuluá also appear.
For the regional coordinator of the EOM, Alejandro Sánchez, it is necessary that institutional efforts be concentrated in such a way that irregularities can be detected.
