In this sense, the Police Unit for the Building of Peace – UNIPEP, contributed to the victims’ right to truth through the construction of the book “Contribution to the truth: Context of the Public Force for historical memory” as a Guarantor institution of Human Rights, through its constitutional mission to ensure the maintenance of peace and security conditions in the national territory.

In this way, inclusion is sought through the Comprehensive System of Truth, Justice, Reparation and Non-Repetition (SIVJRNR), and in judicial and extrajudicial mechanisms, contributing to the Historical Memory in the country.

Through a symbolic act, carried out on February 25 at the Military Museum located in the municipality of Tocancipá, the President of the Republic of Colombia delivered a document in Institutional Historical Memory to the Special Jurisdiction for Peace – JEP, the Truth Commission – CEV and the National Center for Historical Memory

Works in Cartagena would affect historical heritage - Other Cities - Colombia

works for coastal protection from Cartagena, the most important project against climate change facing the nation todayThey started off with the left foot.

They face protests from Bocagrande tour operators and a serious complaint made by the city’s heritage committee, an entity attached to the city’s Institute of Heritage and Culture, IPCC, after the Ministry of Culture, the maximum authority in heritage and restoration of the city.

A submerged wall of more than four centuries

The works must be at least 100 meters from the breakwater and 400 meters from the walls

In an interview with EL TIEMPO, Alfonso Cabrera, secretary of the Cartagena heritage technical committee, denounced that the start of works in front of the walls, on Avenida Santander, they do not have the approval of this committee and could affect the submerged breakwater: a submerged wall of more than four centuries built by the Spanish, with slave labor, in front of the city to prevent the entry of pirate ships and corsairs.

“We are facing an archaeological issue. We are talking about a submerged wall that is working, and goes from the bastion of Santo Domingo to the pincers, in colonial times it measured 1,600 yards long, that is, about 1,300 linear meters, translated into the metric system. Precisely in front of the bastion of Santo Domingo, the works touch the submerged jetty and that was the call made by the Heritage technical committee”, explains Cabrera.

However, the works have already begun, precisely between the submerged breakwater and the walled cordon, on Santander Avenue, where the concession responsible for the coastal protection project erected more than 6 kilometers of rocks, which also prevent the view of walkers towards the sea.

“The builders were made some comments so that they can comply with the legal guidelines because it is the breakwater and the wall itself: the works have to be at least 100 meters from the breakwater and 400 meters from the walls,” added Cabrera.

The Ministry of Culture has not yet approved this intervention

The ministry has not yet approved this intervention. Today we will send you a letter with the observations we made to the project so that they can be corrected.

According to the official, this approval not only goes through the Heritage Technical Committee but also through the National Monuments Council of the Ministry of Culture.

But these works do not yet have the approval of either of these two entitiesconfirmed this newspaper.

“Today we have time to remedy all these deficiencies, this is a very large project that includes Bocagrande and El Cabrero; they are more than 7 kilometers and could be suspended until the project is presented, corrected, because today we are exposed to Unesco taking away the declaration, and the situation is serious because these works would directly impact assets of heritage interest, ”says Cabrera .

The rocks in front of Avenida Santander, which are already generating controversy, show the scope of the project.

“This project is not approved: there is a very large riprap that affects the historical view, and it is that it began precisely in this area, the most important historically speaking.”

Alberto Escovar, heritage director of the Ministry of Culture, assured EL TIEMPO that “the ministry has not yet approved this intervention. Today we will send you a letter with the observations we made to the project so that they can be corrected”.

Historical Pact was left out of competition to Chamber in Bolívar - Other Cities - Colombia

The coalition of the Historical Pact in the department of Bolívar was left out of the electoral contests for the House of Representatives.

“There is no list because two of the parties that signed the endorsement for the coalition on December 13 of last year did not sign the new list, which was headed by the Palenquera leader Diorina Hernández. The former congresswoman Sandra Villadriego did not appear on the new list, ”explains Javier Marrugo, who was head of the list of this collation for Bolívar, in a first list.

Guardianship raised by former congresswoman Sandra Villadriego

The Historical Pact is thus left out of the race for Chamber after the legal representatives of the Ada and the Green Party did not sign the new listwhose deadline for registration ce closed on February 13.

Former congresswoman Sandra Villadiego is supported by the ADA party, but she was heavily criticized the inclusion of Villadiego who was the sentimental partner of a convicted parapolitician.

This coalition is running for the Presidency of the Republic with Gustavo Petro.

“The ADA party has not come out but it did not sign the new list”, explains Javier Marrugo,

“Sandra Villadiego came out on the new list and the leader Diorina Hernández joined. The parties could have signed the coalition regardless of whether their candidates were present or not, but they did not,” adds Marrugo,

However, in a paradox of Colombian politics, a guardianship, raised by former congresswoman Sandra Villadriego, could once again put the Historical Pact in competition for the Chamber. The last word has a judge.
