COLOMBIA: Associates of the paramilitary gain respite
President Álvaro Uribe is gambling that his
current high popularity rating will neutralise the criticism attracted by two
recent decisions many have interpreted as likely to abort attempts to rid the
body politic of the deeply infiltrated allies of paramilitary organisations. In

month later he killed off his own government's bill designed to purge congress
of legislators linked to paramilitary organisations.
