Source text - Spanish Bogotá, 23 de marzo de 2008. — El Ministro de Defensa, Juan Manuel Santos, dijo hoy que el General Gabriel Paris Gordillo, ex presidente de la Junta Militar que gobernó a Colombia catorce meses, es “el símbolo de la vocación democrática de la Fuerza Pública de Colombia”.
Santos encabezó los actos fúnebres realizados en la Escuela Militar de Cadetes y dijo que el país le rindió un justo homenaje al hombre que, hace 50 años, le devolvió su democracia. Era el último sobreviviente de la que el Ministro calificó de “junta histórica” al lado de los generales Luis Ernesto Ordoñez, Rafael Navas y Deogracias Fonseca y del Almirante Rubén Piedrahita.
El titular de la cartera de defensa dijo que la Fuerza Pública sigue combatiendo a los terroristas, con la el fusil en una mano y la Constitución en la otra, respetando Derechos Humanos y Derecho Internacional Humanitario.
