Description
Freddy Rendon Herrera, aka "El Aleman" (The German), former commander of the right-wing paramilitary group United Self-Defenses of Colombia (AUC) shows his support for President Gustavo Petro at a National Meeting with ex-combatants in Puerto Boyaca. Petro belonged to one of the guerrilla enemies of the paramilitaries: the M-19, a nationalist and urban group that laid down its arms in 1990 after negotiations. "The fact that the president was a combatant at one point in the M-19 does not prevent him from being a good president, from seeking and fighting so that this country can finally find an end to a confrontation that has been going on for 50 years," says Rendon.
