On Friday morning, a video with Alias Gabino, his historic leader, commemorating with a song the first attack of his terrorist band, happened more than half a century ago.
And by night, they pop an explosive to the passage of an ESMAD truck (anti-tisturban police) in Cali and hurt 13 uniformed.
Tests both that the ELN continues on the path of terror that has characterized which it was the second largest guerrilla in Colombia and now it disputes the first place to the two disidencies of the ancient FARC.
“The ELN, consistent with what we think, will always be next to the town backing their struggles and sharing their feelings of rage and pain, today more than ever the revolutionary armed struggle” said the statement that issued on Saturday, responsible for the
Bombazo that caused two serious and 11 slight injuries, between a group of anti-tisturbia that moved into a stake truck.
The criminal act took place near Puerto Stuffed, renamed “Puerto Resistencia” by the protesters that paralyzed Cali for 120 days last year, as part of the national strike promoted by left matches and social movements.
According to the General Prosecutor’s Office, the ELN also had a very active participation in some points of the capital of the Cauca Valley Department during those days, some very violent.
And the mentioned place was one of them.
“We reported that at 9:55 on the night of January 7, units received action against the police esmad, in race 46 with Cali 25 of the city of Cali, in the port resistance, with the result
Of 13 injured policemen. Our forces retired without a novelty, “concluded the band’s statement.
Of the victims, two remain admitted with severe wounds, while the rest of the members of the riot mobile squads suffered affectations of lower consideration.
All were part of a contingent who was going to relay his companions since they have never been able to completely abandon that area of Cali since, despite the fact that they raised the national unemployment, a group of protesters has always been stuffed.
Precisely two of its spokespersons, on Friday night, minutes after the attack, they sent a message by social networks, rejecting it in a forceful way and advocating dialogue and peace.
An opposite message than hours before I had sent Nicolás Rodríguez Bautista, Alias Gabino, who was head of the ELN by several lustrians until in 2021 he announced that he retired.
In a recording studio, with the helmets placed and before a microphone, he appeared interpreting an allusive song to him first bloody attack on him, on January 7, 1965.
“After five months of clandestinity and training, it was necessary to announce Colombia and the world that emerged a guerrilla,” says the terrorist before starting to sing.
And the announcement did it the way they have been acting since then, assaulting simacot shooting, a town nestled in the Serranía de los Cobardes, northeast of Colombia.
And, with absolute contempt for the three policemen and two military who murdered that day and the suffering they have been causing in Colombia, he closes his performance with a laugh.
Everything indicates that Gabino takes refuge in Cuba, although it could also be in Venezuela, covered by Nicolás Maduro.
