The legal adviser of the government of Magdalena, José Humberto Torres, denounced that in that department there are armed groups that are pressuring the population with threats to vote for Jorge Rodrigo Tovar son of former paramilitary leader Rodrigo Tovar Pupo, alias ‘George 40’.
Everything indicates that the heirs of parapolitics will also return to Congress
The official, from his Twitter account, called on the electoral bodies and authorities to put a magnifying glass on the electoral issue that, in this part of the country, tries to be clouded again by violence.
“In Magdalena, the GAO heirs of paramilitarism are forcing voters to vote for alias Yoyo, son of paramilitary chief Jorge 40. Everything indicates that the heirs of parapolitics will also return to Congress,” Torres said.
The legal adviser also pointed out that, despite being deprived of liberty, paramilitary chief ‘Jorge 40’ will return to Congress of the republic, again in a foreign body.

“This time he will be represented by his son, alias Yoyo, and by the heirs of parapolitics in Magdalena,” added the official.
Jorge Rodrigo Tovar intends to occupy one of the peace seats in the Chamber, which were designed for those who are in that condition, although it is debated whether or not he is precisely a victim of violence.
The governor of Magdalena, Carlos Caicedo, in an electoral security council, he asked the security agencies to investigate these complaints and provide protection to those candidates who present some risk condition due to their political aspirations.
