00:00Today in Colombia, there are 107 processes of revocation, a number never before seen.
00:05People can promote this process if they are inconsistent with their local mandatario
00:08or if they are inconsistent with their government plan.
00:11But, how to prove that it is true?
00:13This figure exists since the Constitution of 1991, and even though they have 56 votes
00:17so that the citizens decide, no governor has been revoked until now.
00:21What can the citizens do that want their mandatario to go out of charge?
00:24In summary, we have to form a promoter committee that includes those who want to go out of charge.
00:31If the Registraduría sees that the committee has completed the requirements,
00:34it begins the recolección of the firmas.
00:35In the end, the valid firmas have to exceed the 30% of the vote that the governor wants to
00:41revoke.
00:42If the process comes to court, it must pass an umbral,
00:44which is the 40% of the vote that there was in the local elections.
00:48And to win, we need half more than one.
00:51But in these processes, almost always wins the ausentism.
00:54The people don't want to vote.
00:55What we have now discussed is how to fill the void that the law left.
00:58For example, who can verify if the reasons that the committee is true?
01:01The report is that those who support Peñalosa
01:04signed up a committee to revoke it,
01:06accusing him of that, by his fault, the man had no conquistated Marte.
01:09And despite that, the Registraduría gave them a free route to recoger firmas.
01:13Today, the National Electoral Council seeks alternatives to adjust the contract.
01:17While the discussion is resolved to defend their charges
01:19and avoid the charges,
01:20the government's rights,
01:21the authorities have the judicial authority.
01:23the government's rights,
01:24the government's rights,
01:25the government's rights,
01:25the government's rights.
01:27In other words,
01:28we can say that the citizens are more aware
01:31of the mechanisms of participation
01:32that they have to incide in the administration of their cities.
01:35However,
01:36there are people who think that the revocations
01:37are used as a political revanchism,
01:40like the same Colombian Federated Municipals.
01:41The question is how to make this mechanism really serve
01:46to the democracy
01:46and that it doesn't become a way
01:48to destabilize the institution
01:49or not to govern.
01:50Thank you for that!
01:50Thank you very much.
