Democratic Center rejected ‘Timochenko’s’ accusation against senator for revealing hearing with the JEP: “Our caucus will not be intimidated”

The Centro Democrático party has formally rejected accusations made by former FARC commander Rodrigo Londoño, known as 'Timochenko,' against Senator María Clara Posada. The dispute arose after the senator disclosed details regarding a hearing with the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), leading to public criticism from Londoño. In response, the party issued a statement affirming that its legislative bench will not be intimidated by such remarks and defended the senator's right to conduct political oversight.

Prominent political figures have joined the discourse, with Senator Enrique Gómez of the Movimiento de Salvación Nacional publicly aligning himself with Posada. Gómez characterized the situation as a collective issue, stating that an attack on the congresswoman is an attack on him as well, thereby broadening the political support for Posada beyond her own party ranks.
