COLOMBIA: Uribe Questions Mockus' Anti- FARC Stance.
COLOMBIAREPORTS/ Outgoing President Alvaro Uribe has insinuated that Green Party candidate Antanas Mockus lacks the will to continue the fight against the FARC terrorists. "I can't refer to candidates in particular, but I remember that 7th of August in 2002, when the government in power [Uribe's] was almost murdered in Bogota... It's very serious when some people in the country, who allowed the guerrilla and the paramilitarism to grow and didn't fight them, today present themselves as honest, as enemies of politicking, in order to aspire to the presidency" said Uribe. Uribe believes the attack gainst him resulted from Bogota's weak security. Mockus was Bogota's mayor at that time. Mockus has responded "yes, I am capable of fighting the FARC."
