Days ago he strongly criticized the designation accused of corruption in the government of Gustavo Petro. “To point out what is wrong has consequences,” he said.
The vice president and minister of Colombia’s equality, France Márquez, said Thursday that “Your life and that of your family run” to “denounce corruption and point out what is wrong.”
“Today, my life is in danger. Reporting corruption and pointing out what is wrong has consequences, “Márquez denounced in a statement and said she received threats against her and her family. “Still, they won’t shut up, I won’t give up. Because the change we promised, will not be stopped by fear, “he promised.
According to Colombian media, Márquez is distanced with President Gustavo Petro and would be close to renouncing the Ministry of Equality. During a televised cabinet meeting, she strongly criticized the appointment of Armando Benedetti as head of the dispatch, a politician accused of having committed acts of corruption.
Márquez said in front of Petro that he did not agree with the designation of Benedetti. “I respect it because you are the Head of State and he is the president, but I do not share his decision to bring to this government those people who know they have much of responsibility with what is happening,” said Márquez.
In the statement it was not clear if it finally renounced the equality portfolio, but left a phrase that could be interpreted in that regard, at least as a possibility. “My commitment to Colombia does not end up being inside or outside a ministry. I will continue working for people and I will not stop until we take equality and equity to every corner of Colombia, “said Márquez.
