The Construye Movement and Good People have united to condemn the political manipulation surrounding the tragic assassination of Fernando Villavicencio. The late Villavicencio, hailed as a martyr in the battle against criminal mafias and narco-politics, has become the subject of deceitful narratives that threaten to overshadow his memory and hinder the ongoing investigations into his death.
With a firm voice, the joint statement calls upon the Citizen Revolution Movement to show respect for Fernando's legacy and cease the dissemination of fabricated audio and video content that only serves to spread confusion and misinformation.
This disturbing practice not only compromises the truth-seeking efforts but also perpetuates an environment of uncertainty.
Furthermore, the statement appeals to "La Posta" to disengage from providing a platform for organized crime and its political affiliates, particularly in these sensitive times. By lending credibility to criminal elements through media channels, the platform unwittingly becomes complicit in undermining the very principles Villavicencio fought for.
In an impassioned plea, the Construye Movement and Good People implore justice authorities to expedite the investigation process, aiming to unveil the individuals responsible for the tragic assassination. These individuals, the statement points out, are not just those who directly perpetrate violence, but also those who engage in dealings with criminal syndicates, provide them platforms, and perpetuate fear campaigns using manipulated visual content under the guise of criminal organizations.
In a united front, the statement affirms that those who sully the name of Fernando Villavicencio with lies, who exploit his memory for political gain, and who engage in unsavory dealings with criminal elements are the very individuals accountable for distorting the legacy of a man who fought courageously against corruption and criminal influence.
