De Liberal Management Department as an organization exists in name only. The former directors, headed by former Congressman Luis Fernando Duque and its Secretary General Gustavo Giraldo, killed her. Distrust, lust for power and infighting, was practically wiped out the liberalism of Antioquia.

Since this year there are spoils (election of mayors and councils) to deal, and although not stand each other, locked themselves behind closed doors and a cabal determined who would be candidates for the 30 October. The newspaper El Mundo of May 2, entitled: " Strange but true : liberal trends Antioquia Department gathered in the directory, so conflicting and disparate, achieved a historic basis to define mechanisms unopposed and selection of candidates in 95 municipalities of Antioquia. " Of course, the anointed were his brothers, members of his lodge.

In the particular case of La Ceja, and I guess in other municipalities, decided to choose a finger, who knows what future commitments who would grant him the endorsement. strip is passed through the Article 20 of the statutes of the once glorious Liberal Party mandating that " The referendum Internal , is compulsory and the only mechanism for the selection of candidates for the Presidency Republic of , governments and municipalities, where there is no single candidates duly registered with the authorities of the Party. "

there is ordered, that if you have more than one candidate" the directives of the Party must seek mechanisms of consensus among different political forces . 'The party leaders in Antioquia, including Senator ("father of the nation ) Eugenio Prieto Soto, abusing his power ignored the duties of Capíulo III no c umplieron and disrespected the statutes.

the plaintiff seeks only that operated Gallego respect for their rights, especially the one enshrined in Article 29 of the Constitution of 1991 requiring apply due process all sorts of legal and administrative proceedings. This means no more nor less than all, even the evil fathers of the country, believed lords and masters of the country, are required to respect the Constitution , laws and statutes of the political parties.

Due process is the basis of the rule of law. Without him, the authorities and the powerful of all kinds trample the rights of the weakest, they impose their decisions as he wanted to do the course Liberal Departmental Directory, sponsored by Mr. Rafael Pardo, who poses as serious and respectful standards.

If all goes as far as normal, and welcomed the abundant case law that exists on the subject, the court decision will be favorable to the plaintiff be ordered to meet the bylaws and to see a democratic mechanism to choose Liberalism candidate Hall. To there only part of the penalty.

The other half of the sentence would be up to voters, who as a sign of rejection, we should abstain from voting by those who want to succeed at the expense of anything even customarily violating the Constitution and electoral laws . Only then would impose a just punishment for those who are our tormentors: the Founding Fathers abusers.
