I remember in 2000, when President Clinton came to Cartagena just before Plan Colombia started, the country was on the verge of becoming a failed state. Today, we are one of the most solid democracies, where institutions are working, where the scandals such as false positives have come to light because of those functioning institutions.

Colombians do not like the FARC. In fact, 95 percent reject the FARC.

The Bolivarian revolution has no future and it has shown a lack of results.

I would never accept general impunity for the guerrillas!

I have the complete support of the military. I personally served in the navy.

I fight terrorism as if there was no peace process, and I negotiate the peace process as if there was no terrorism.

Colombia is applauded for the efforts that we continue to make to combat drug trafficking.
