El Mensaje Presidencial

Abstract

The image contains a news story about a presidential message addressed to the Colombian Congress, arguing that instead of promoting unity and conciliation, it exacerbates political divisions and treats the opposition party with arrogance. The author maintains that the message promotes a partisan agenda above the interests of the nation and that it does not recognize the legitimate role of political parties in a democratic system. In addition, criticism is made of the opposition party and its leader, accusing them of violating the constitution and undermining democratic principles. It exalts liberal military leaders and their commitment to the defense of the nation and its laws. The speech seeks to justify the actions of the Liberal Party and discredit its opponents, presenting them as traitors and usurpers of power. News published in La Patria No. 13, 15, 16, 18, 19.
