In addition, he added, he will also inform the entity about an apparent persecution against the Municipal Administration.
“In the same way, we also ask that the persecution by some control organisms cease, and the Colombian authorities are reminded that the Democratically elected mayors can only be suspended through a final criminal ruling, thanks to the ‘Petro ruling’ that prevented the breakdown of democracy in Colombia. What the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights does is protect democracy and we hope that it will do so in our case,” added the mayor.

The president also said that he had tensions with the National Police for a change in its security scheme.
However, he clarified that after talking with the director of the Police, General Jorge Luis Vargas, the situation was reversed and it did not escalate.
Quintero’s trip to the US capital will be on the night of this Wednesday, February 23, and he indicated that once it is over, he will travel to Barcelona (Spain).
There, he said, he will be representing Medellin at the World Mobile Congress, “the most important technology congress in the world, where it will show advances in the capital of Antioquia, especially with the Future Computing strategies and the neutral fiber optic network.”
