00:00The transition between the government of President-elect Abelardo de las Priella is suspended
00:04with the outstanding administration of Gustavo Petro.
00:06According to what Priella said on his social media, he just gave instructions to
00:10Mr. Vice President-elect of the Republic, José Manuel Restrepo, to suspend from
00:14immediately the transition process with the corrupt government that is ending its term,
00:18a government that, through its decisions and conduct, seeks to destroy Colombia.
00:23The statement comes after a series of messages from President Gustavo
00:27Petro again pointed to alleged fraud in the elections.
00:30In those messages, he denied the Priella family's election and said that Iván Cepeda is the one.
00:35President-elect of Colombians.
00:37Under that precept, de las Priella said that her duty is to protect the interests of the nation.
00:41and guarantee a serious, transparent transition that serves the Colombian people, never legitimizing
00:47disaster nor ignorance of the constitutional order.
00:50And as a result, he canceled the splicing process in all sectors.
00:53Along the same lines, Vice President-elect José Manuel Restrepo said that
00:57We have informed our leaders, coordinators, and facilitators about your instruction to suspend
01:03immediately the splicing process.
01:05Restrepo supported the election of the Priella family with almost 13 million votes, reason
01:09Therefore, no one has the right to ignore that popular mandate or to question the
01:14legitimacy of the president-elect, Abelardo de las Priella.
01:17Democracy, the constitution, and the sovereign will of the citizens are respected.
01:21From the Executive delegation, headed by the Minister of Finance, Germán Ávila, it was noted
01:26to be against the statements made by members of the Priella team about
01:30the dignity of President Petro.
01:32Ávila would be referring to recent statements by Carlos Alonso Lucio, program director during
01:37the campaign and current member of the National Transition Commission of the incoming Administration.
01:41I request all ministers and directors of administrative departments to suspend the
01:50splicing tables.
01:52I ask you, Dr. José Manuel Restrepo, to evaluate the events, and I invite you to do so afterward.
02:00that you have clarity regarding the implications of all the acts that have been committed in order to
02:08to meet and define the future of this process.
