Iván Márquez, one of the seven leaders of the directorate of the rebel Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC), criticized both Spain and the European Union (EU) for their support to Colombian President Álvaro Uribe's government during his recent visit to Europe.
Spain and the EU "are sheltering Uribe in a niche coated with the Teflon of infamy," said the commander of the FARC in a press release published Sunday on the website of the news agency Agencia de Noticias Nueva Colombia (Anncol), which usually publishes the communiqués issued by the guerrilla group, AP quoted.
Uribe "is welcome by the Borbón (Spanish King Juan Carlos I) in his hangover, as well as the perverse (Javier) Solana (Foreign Affairs Secretary of the EU), and Spanish President (the head of the Spanish government José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero), who should rather recognize the self-determination of the Basque Country instead of endorsing scoundrels," Márquez said.
He added that Uribe remains in office "thanks to the military and political support from the US government, and the Spanish King and government."
Additionally, Reyes said the FARC "are ready" for a swap of hostages, adding that "the (Colombian) government will have to accept it.
