00:00We're going now to Colombia. Presidential candidate for the historic back party, Ivan Cepeda, exposed a new right-wing plot
00:06to sabotage his election campaign.
00:08Presidential candidate Ivan Cepeda stated that the audio recordings falsely linked him to a member of the far dissident groups,
00:15a part of a smear campaign designed to damage his reputation.
00:20He directly blamed Álvaro Uribe and Paloma Valencia for this lie.
00:23Cepeda also demanded a correction after it was confirmed that the recordings belonged to an extortionist prisoner who had posed
00:31a member of the far dissident led by Calarca.
00:35The progressive candidate announced that he will ask the prosecutor's office to investigate those responsible for these criminal actions, which
00:43aim to create a false narrative during the electoral period.
00:54I am requesting that the situation be corrected. One media outlet at a time. That is the situation. I have
01:05been very clear in my recent statements.
01:10I present all forms of pressure from armed groups aimed at altering the popular will in any way, but that
01:21doesn't mean that I will tolerate these fabricated schemes being carried out with this impunity.
