OPEN LETTER TO NOBEL PRIZE COMMITTEE

To:  NOBEL PRIZE COMMITTEE

ENGLISH VERSION

Dear Sirs:

Recent news from international media said that the colombian congress woman Piedad Cordoba has been nominated by the Nobel organization to run for The Nobel Peace Prize.

As colombian citizens, we would like to let you know that most of people in our country consider Mrs. Cordoba a declared enemy of democracy in our country, even promoting subversive actions against colombian institutionality in public acts in universities and several other scenarios.

Justified in supposed humanitarian acts, she has been attacking the constitutionally elected government of Colombia for the last years impelling the blackmail proposed by Farc terrorists, which pretends to exchange 20 kidnapped military troopers for 500 terrorists currently in jail. Colombian people are opposing to that exchange because it will start an endless cycle of kidnappings to let Farc look for future exchanges.

As you may know, Farc terrorist group has been killing, kidnapping and attacking colombian people for more than 40 years and have been consistently violating human rights and attacking our democracy.

Mrs Cordoba´s close relationship with terrorist group Farc and venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez, is no longer acceptable since Chavez had publicly confessed his intentions to expand his dictatorial regime to Colombia. Colombian people are firmly against totalitarian regimes which restrict personal freedom and limit all liberties. We have had a long democratic tradition and we want to live in freedom, and we want freedom for our next generations.

We strongly ask you to reconsider Piedad Cordoba´s nomination in the name of colombian people, in the name of freedom and mainly in the name of peace.

Best regards,

SPANISH VERSION

Apreciados Señores:

Noticias recientes de medios de comunicación internacionales dicen que la congresista colombiana Piedad Cordoba ha sido nominada por la organización Nobel para el Premio Nobel de Paz.

Como ciudadanos colombianos, queremos hacerle saber que la mayoria del pueblo colombiano considera a la Sra. Cordoba una enemiga declarada de la democracia en nuestro pais, incluso promoviendo acciones subversivas contra la institucionalidad colombiana en actos públicos en universidades y en muchos otros escenarios.

Justificada en supuestos actos humanitarios, ella ha estado atacando al gobierno constitucionalmente elegido de Colombia en los últimos años impulsando el chantaje propuesto por los terroristas de las Farc, que pretenden intercambiar 20 militares secuestrados por 500 terroristas actualmente en la carcel. El pueblo colombiano se opone a ese intercambio porque este iniciará un ciclo interminable de secuestros para buscar futuros intercambios con las Farc.

Como ustedes deben saber, el grupo terrorista de las Farc ha estado asesinando, secuestrando y atacando al pueblo colombiano por mas de 40 años y ha estado permanentemente violando los derechos humanos y atacando nuestra democracia.

La cercana relación de la Sra. Cordoba con el grupo terrorista de las Farc y el lider venezolano Hugo Chavez, no puede ser aceptada puesto que Chavez ha confesado publicamente sus intenciones de expandir su regimen dictatorial a Colombia. El pueblo colombiano está firme contra los regimenes totalitarios que restringen la libertad personal y limitan todas las libertades. Nosotros hemos tenido una larga tradición democrática y queremos vivir en libertad y queremos libertad para nuestras futuras generaciones.

Firmemente les pedimos reconsiderar la nominación de Piedad Cordoba en nombre del pueblo colombiano, en nombre de la libertad y principalmente en nombre de la paz.

Cordial saludo,

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
