After Meeting with Lombana was Confirmed Martinelli Invites Other Politicians to Meet with him.

Without mentioning names, Martinelli emphasized from Colombia that: “We didn’t announce many of those people who visit, we didn’t take pictures of them, we didn’t publish them.”

From his asylum in Colombia, former President Ricardo Martinelli invited other political or civil society leaders to meet with him in Bogotá, a place he compared to “Mecca for Muslims or Rome for Catholics,” almost obligatory places to visit. 

Martinelli Claims that “Many People” Visit him.

Without mentioning names, Martinelli even emphasized that: “We didn’t announce many of those people, we didn’t take pictures of them, we didn’t publish them.”  “We’ll continue to share our opinions. Anyone who wants to come to Bogotá to see me and talk is welcome. Let’s schedule a meeting, and if I have the time and if I’m interested, we’ll gladly do it,” he said. 

The Another Path Movement (MOCA) confirmed that its president, Ricardo Lombana, held a meeting with the president of the Realizing Goals (RM) party, Ricardo Martinelli, but clarified that the meeting does not represent a political agreement or an electoral alliance for the 2029 elections. 


The former president took the opportunity to issue a warning to those who are attacking him following the political meeting with Lombana, and described them as “socially resentful people”.  “They keep messing with me, I’m going to report them and confront them because you are all chickens who don’t want anyone to expose you, but you are the ones who throw the first stone,” he said.  Martinelli avoided referring to the topics discussed with Lombana, while the latter has not made any public statements on the matter.
