        He is not a héroe... He is just a corrupted president... Please look for investigation over the election and 'hacker case'. On the other hand what peace? Come to Colombia... We are swimming in cocaine for people like you who doesn't know even how to spell Colombia or where it is

        I´ll never forget what Santos said as his opening remark in BBC´s Hardtalk: It´s easy to make war, but far harder to make peace. TRUE. He´s a hero!

        There’s nothing heroic about @JuanManSantos who lied to the whole world about a process that gave amnesty to terrorist druglords from farc and has Colombia drowned in division and corruption. #fail

        Just for the récord: Colombia still has an ongoing war. Nevertheless, his efforts to end it are remarkable.

        The only thing that Santos has done well enough is a terrible, terrible negotiation with FARC. Doesn’t it even occur to you that if had it done correctly he would at least have an image within its country of at least 75% and not 14% ?

        He did nothing (Santos). Those supposed rebels are just drug trafficking and kidnappers under a veil of ideology. Only fools like him, deals with those lumps.
