Colombian Govt. slams death threats against Transparency Secretary

Bogota, Sep 18 (Prensa Latina) The Colombian Administrative Department of the Presidency of the Republic (Dapre) today rejected the death threats against the country's Secretary of Transparency, Andres Idarraga.

A statement from that entity voiced strong condemnation of such acts and asserted that the government of President Gustavo Petro remains unbent in its decision to fight against all forms of corruption.

“The Government stresses with determination that this type of threats will not stop the mission to uncover and expose acts of corruption that are alien to this government’, states Dapre.

The Department emphasized its trust on the support of the institutions that are currently investigating the identity of those responsible for the threats.

According to statements in social networks, funeral wreaths were sent to the house of the Secretary of Transparency, bearing the words Descanse en Paz (Rest in Peace).

In turn Idarraga thanked in his X account the solidarity he has received and expressed his confidence that the authorities will find those hiding behind the threats.
