00:00Colombia's President Abelardo de la Espriella is facing a wave of criticism following the public display of bodies of alleged
00:07members of FARC dissident groups.
00:10Criticism against the President arose after the release of an official video in which de la Espriella walks among the
00:16bodies of 23 alleged members of Iván Mordisco's dissident group killed during Operation Azarias in the municipality of Miraflores.
00:25In the footage, the bodies appear laid out on the ground and covered with white bags.
00:30The display of the bodies was described by various sectors as an act of necropolitics and an unnecessary spectacle that
00:37borders the bazaar.
00:50Also on his ex-social media account, Senator Iván Cepeda said,
00:54The exhibition of corpses wanders among the bags containing the corpses he almost steps on them with contempt.
01:01He calls himself a Christian, but in reality he is an unscrupulous person with the slightest sense of humanity.
01:08For her part, Senator Alejandra Omaña noted,
01:12We have entered the realm of necropolitics.
01:15Abelardo's government aims to give death an aesthetic and turn it into propaganda.
01:21Mr. Longlife Chris the King, now this Colombia has already spent too long counting the death,
01:28displaying the death and using the death to show who is in charge.
01:32You should help us break free from the culture, not feel comfortable in the face of death.
01:37I ask you, Abelardo de l'Espriella, are you posing on the corpses of children?
01:42Likewise, Congressman Daniel Monroy emphasized,
01:46This is one of the most bizarre things we've ever seen,
01:49walking among the dead while invoking the name of God.
01:53Just to justify an unnecessary spectacle,
01:57necropolitics seems to be the new and lowest form of Abelardo de l'Espriella's politics.
