Monday, February 13, 2023, via his Twitter account @MiguelPoloPthe representative in the House for the Negritudes Miguel Polo Polo denounced that the National Protection Unit, UNPdid not deliver the body armor requested a month ago.

According to Polo Polo, the vest would be part of the protection regime responsible for the safety of the representative who, from the start of the government, declared himself a member of the opposition to Gustavo Petro.

The problem would be, according to what Polo Polo expressed, that after a month of waiting the UNP had not given him an answer or solution, for which he assured that the entity is more concerned of the life of guerrillas, leaving aside the security of the opposition.

“How is it possible that for a month I have been asking @UNPColombia for the bulletproof vest, which is part of my device, and that the General Secretariat has not been able to give me a solution. They don’t care about the security of the opposition, but they are fleeing the guerrillas,” Miguel Polo Polo said on his Twitter account.

On the complaint filed by Miguel Polo Polo, the 87-year-old Uribista and former Senate candidate Alice Franco declared that the National Protection Unit is only at the service of the guerrillas and that, therefore, the opposition of the government has no guaranteethen “the life of your beautiful Polo Polo is in danger”.

“The life of my handsome Polo Polo is in danger, he has NO bulletproof vest. @UNPColombia only serves the guerrillas and we have no guarantees for the opposition”.

In January 2023, the President of the Senate, Roy Barreras denounced Miguel Polo Polo before the Supreme Court because he would have incurred the offense of aggravated harassment for the remarks made against the president Gustavo Petro and some senior officials of the Historic Pact government.

But, on February 13, 2023, the representative Polo Polo himself assured in a publication on the Twitter platform that the Supreme Court did not admit Barreras’ complaint, which he called “one more triumph against the left.”

“The Supreme Court DOES NOT ADMIT Roy Barreras’ complaint against me for calling Petro what he is; a guerrilla. They can kick and cry but they can’t erase the truth. Another victory against the left. Petro guerrilla, Petro guerrilla. Thank you @DELAESPRIELLAE”.

According to the complaint document revealed by the President of the Senate, Roy Barreras, in early 2023, Polo Polo made some offensive remarks against government officials.

The comments to which Barreras refers are those posted on the Twitter account of Miguel Polo Polo, in which he assures that he refuses to believe that “this guerrilla”, referring to President Petro, and his cabinet, whose members of criminals, would destroy the country. , so he called on Colombians located in cities and towns to rise up against the national government.

“I refuse to believe that this guerrilla and its cabinet of criminals will destroy the country and we will only complain on the networks. It’s time to wake up. From the deepest alleys of our nation to the largest cities, we must rise up against this government.”

At that time, Barreras assured the high court that Polo Polo would “promote and incite acts intended to cause physical and moral harm, at least to President Gustavo Petro”.

In the document, Roy Barreras also assured that the attacks of the Polo Polo representative would be associated with the Political ideology of the representative, since the word guerrilla would be associated with the left.

“Because of his political ideology, calling him a guerrilla, a word that in Colombia’s historical context is associated with the country’s political left.”
