3 políticos del Pacífico van a la cárcel por parapolítica

3 Pacific coast politicians are going to jail for alleged collaboration with the paramilitaries. Good riddance to bad rubbish, although the problem is so deeply ingrained in the political system there (what with the deep penetration of armed actors and drug traffickers and the profoundly cynical political corruption in the region ...) that the detainment of these 3 in particular will do little to extirpate the roots. It should be noted that all three are affiliated with political parties supporting president Álvaro Uribe.

Los salpicados son:

• Odin Sánchez, representante del Chocó y vicepresidente de la Cámara
• Édgar Ulises Torres, representante del Chocó
• Juan Carlos Martínez, of Buenaventura, representante del Valle del Cauca
