La historia que nos deben
Por María Jimena Duzán

Si nos atenemos a las revelaciones de este libro, Uribe Vélez fue sacado de la Alcaldía de Medellín por presuntas relaciones con el narcotráfico.

-"¿Cómo es posible que tengamos en la Alcaldía de Medellín a una persona de quien me han dicho tiene nexos con los narcotraficantes?"

La acusación y el airado reclamo salieron de los labios del entonces presidente de la República de Colombia, Belisario Betancur. Corría el mes de noviembre de 1982 y su atónito interlocutor al otro lado de la línea era el gobernador de Antioquia, Álvaro Villegas Moreno (...).

–"¿Pero cómo es posible, señor presidente, que usted crea que él está implicado en algo semejante?
–Sé por qué se lo digo, (le contestó el presidente). Tengo datos concretos: el papá de él, Alberto, tiene negocios dudosos y esto nos va a causar muchos problemas.

–Presidente, estoy en una reunión muy amplia, pero la voy a terminar muy rápidamente. Lo llamo y le aclaro absolutamente todo o si prefiere viajo a Bogotá, pero lo que sí quiero anticiparle es que usted está muy mal informado Uribe, (Álvaro Uribe Vélez) es un hombre absolutamente honesto, yo le respondo por él, afirmó Villegas Moreno".

Este diálogo no es sacado de ninguna narcohistoria de esas que ahora están de moda en la televisión. Son extractos de un libro muy interesante que ha llegado a mis manos: la biografía oficial de Álvaro Villegas Moreno escrita por Germán Jiménez en la que se cuentan por primera vez pasajes inéditos sobre las razones por las cuales el expresidente Uribe habría durado solo cuatro meses como alcalde de Medellín en 1982. Y por las revelaciones que trae, este libro promete levantar su polvareda.

La primera de ellas es que deja sin piso la tesis esgrimida hasta ahora por el propio expresidente Uribe en el sentido de que su salida se debió a problemas políticos. La versión que me dieron sus allegados en el 2004 y que plasmé en el libro Así gobierna Uribe es que el expresidente se habría quedado sin apoyo político debido a una pelea con el cacique liberal Bernardo Guerra Serna. Pero otra versión sostiene que Uribe Vélez y Villegas Moreno se pelearon por una cuota burocrática.

En este libro Villegas Moreno afirma que ninguna de esas dos historias son ciertas y propone una que va a causar bastante polémica: la de que fue el expresidente de la ANDI, Fabio Echeverri, el culpable de la estrepitosa salida de Uribe de la Alcaldía. Esta versión sorprende porque Echeverri fue la mano derecha de Uribe en su primera elección presidencial y el promotor del oprobioso articulito que le permitió reelegirse desde el poder. Es decir, fue un uribista pura sangre.

Aquí apartes del relato que hace el propio Villegas Moreno en su libro cuya presentación contó con la asistencia como invitado especial del propio Álvaro Uribe Vélez. “Llamé al llegar al despacho al Dr. Alfonso Ospina, quien era el secretario general de la Presidencia (de Betancur) y le indagué por lo que estaba pasando. Él me contó que en un desayuno, con asistencia de Fabio Echeverri y el presidente Betancur, Echeverri le dio las ‘informaciones’ que tenía sobre Alberto Uribe y Álvaro Uribe; le transmitió sus apreciaciones sobre sus negocios, fincas y actividades que ellos cumplían y le habló del parentesco de Uribe con los Ochoa”.

El libro advierte que años después el periodista Gerardo Reyes le preguntó al expresidente de la ANDI sobre este asunto y afirmó que ese señalamiento era falso e insistió en la tesis de que la salida de Uribe se había debido a motivos estrictamente políticos. (Villegas quería la Presidencia de EPM para una persona de él, y ahí estaba nombrado Diego Calle, cercano a Álvaro Uribe).

Para Villegas Moreno, “esa versión de Echeverri es fantasiosa” porque esa pelea nunca existió. Según lo dice en su libro, el propio presidente Betancur decidió dejarlo en ese puesto luego de que Calle no aceptó su ofrecimiento de venir a Bogotá a manejar la política energética del país.

De acuerdo a lo que afirma el exgobernador de Antioquia, la situación se agravó en razón de que el presidente Betancur tenía el reclamo de un sector conservador que insistía en tener una mayor representación burocrática en la Alcaldía y Uribe se negó a modificar su gabinete. Creía, según lo afirma Villegas, que estas peticiones eran la excusa que tenía el gobierno central para presionar su salida de la Alcaldía y optó por renunciar de manera irrevocable a su cargo a los cuatro meses de haber sido nombrado. A la semana lo hizo el gobernador Villegas Moreno.

Si nos atenemos a las nuevas revelaciones hechas por Villegas Moreno en este libro, Uribe Vélez fue sacado de la Alcaldía de Medellín por presuntas relaciones con el narcotráfico. Para Villegas estas relaciones nunca tuvieron asidero, pero el libro deja claro que esa no era la opinión del expresidente Betancur ni la de Fabio Echeverri. Y esa historia se la están debiendo al país.

U.S. INTELLIGENCE LISTED COLOMBIAN PRESIDENT URIBE AMONG
"IMPORTANT COLOMBIAN NARCO-TRAFFICKERS" IN 1991

Then-Senator "Dedicated to Collaboration with the Medellín Cartel at High Government Levels"

http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB131/diaexcerpt.jpg (http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB131/dia910923.pdf)Confidential DIA Report Had Uribe Alongside Pablo Escobar, Narco-Assassins

Uribe "Worked for the Medellín Cartel" and was a "Close Personal Friend of Pablo Escobar"

Washington, D.C., 1 August 2004 - Then-Senator and now President Álvaro Uribe Vélez of Colombia was a "close personal friend of Pablo Escobar" who was "dedicated to collaboration with the Medellín [drug] cartel at high government levels," according to a 1991 intelligence report from U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) officials in Colombia (http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB131/dia910923.pdf). The document was posted today on the website of the National Security Archive, a non-governmental research group based at George Washington University.
Uribe's inclusion on the list raises new questions about allegations that surfaced during Colombia's 2002 presidential campaign. Candidate Uribe bristled and abruptly terminated an interview in March 2002 when asked by Newsweek reporter Joseph Contreras about his alleged ties to Escobar and his associations with others involved in the drug trade. Uribe accused Contreras of trying to smear his reputation, saying that, "as a politician, I have been honorable and accountable."
The newly-declassified report, dated 23 September 1991, is a numbered list of "the more important Colombian narco-traffickers contracted by the Colombian narcotic cartels for security, transportation, distribution, collection and enforcement of narcotics operations." The document was released by DIA in May 2004 in response to a Freedom of Information Act request submitted by the Archive in August 2000.
http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB131/uribepentagon1-4.jpg that were apparently provided with the original -- suggests it was probably obtained from Colombian or U.S. counternarcotics personnel. The document notes that some of the information in the report was verified "via interfaces with other agencies."

President Uribe -- now a key U.S. partner in the drug war -- "was linked to a business involved in narcotics activities in the United States" and "has worked for the Medellín cartel," the narcotics trafficking organization led by Escobar until he was killed by Colombian government forces in 1993. The report adds that Uribe participated in Escobar's parliamentary campaign and that as senator he had "attacked all forms of the extradition treaty" with the U.S.

"Because both the source of the report and the reporting officer's comments section were not declassified, we cannot be sure how the DIA judged the accuracy of this information," said Michael Evans, director of the Archive's Colombia Documentation Project, "but we do know that intelligence officials believed the document was serious and important enough to pass on to analysts in Washington."

In a statement issued on July 30 (http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB131/#colgovstmt), the Colombian government took exception to several items reported in the document, saying that Uribe has never had any foreign business dealings, that his father was killed while fleeing a kidnap attempt by FARC guerrillas, and that he had not opposed the extradition treaty, but merely hoped to postpone a referendum to prevent the possibility that narcotraffickers would influence the vote.

The communiqué, however, did not deny the most significant allegation reported in the document: that Uribe had a close personal relationship with Pablo Escobar and business dealings with the Medellín Cartel.
The document is marked "CONFIDENTIAL NOFORN WNINTEL," indicating that its disclosure could reasonably be expected to damage national security, that its content was based on intelligence sources and methods, and that it should not be shared with foreign nationals.
Uribe, the 82nd name on the list, appears on the same page as Escobar and Fidel Castaño, who went on to form the country's major paramilitary army, a State Department-designated terrorist group now engaged in peace negotiations with the Uribe government. Written in March 1991 while Escobar was still a fugitive, the report was forwarded to Washington several months after his surrender to Colombian authorities in June 1991.
Most of those on the list are well-known drug traffickers or assassins associated with the Medellín cartel. Others listed include ex-president of Panama Manuel Noriega, Iran-contra arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, and Carlos Vives, a Colombian entertainer said to be connected to the narcotics business through his uncle.

Para cuando la orden de captura?

[OPHIUCHUS]

Particularmente, una reunión en el estadero Las Margaritas, sobre la autopista Medellín-Bogotá entre Uribe, los Ochoa y Escobar, reunión a la que el presidente llegó en helicóptero oficial y todo. Aunque algunos dirán que Uribe salió rápido porque en cuatro meses hizo lo que se suponía debía hacer en tres años.
