Colombia’s ombudsman’s office is questioning presidential advisor Luis Guillermo Vélez Trujillo, also known as De la Espriella, after he was photographed walking among corpses in Guaviare. The images were shared by President Gustavo Petro himself, sparking criticism. Iris Marín, of the Defensoría del Pueblo, stated that the bodies should not be treated as a stage setting. The incident occurred during a visit to the area, likely related to ongoing security operations. This action is raising concerns about respect for the deceased and proper handling of human remains during conflict situations. The ombudsman’s office is calling for a stop to the normalization of such displays. The situation highlights ongoing tensions regarding human rights and government conduct in conflict-affected regions like Guaviare.
