The political patron of Colombia’s President Ivan Duque, former President Alvaro Uribe, on Sunday suggested that authorities have the right to instigate a “massacre with social criteria.”

The Tweet was part of a series in which the senator expressed his disapproval over a compromise made between the government and Native Colombians in the southwest after weeks of violence.

Ahead of the deal, native Colombian spokesperson Jose Pete said that if the police use force to clear the Pan-American highway that was blocked during the protests, this could result “in the worst massacre of Colombia.”

Uribe responded that “if authority, serenely, firmly and with social criteria instigate a massacre this is because on the other side there is violence and terror aside protest.”
