  • A president I did not vote for, but the president I believe in. That's why democracy is the best way. Standing ovation from here Mr. Santos.

  • He didn't say goodbye! :(

  • @muhammadzahmad Thanks man I am :)

  • @muhammadzahmad well I did vote for him, and he does make a really good point, but this speech is really aimed towards americans so I don't really feel particularly proud of this haha, any colombian economist could make the same point, some even with a better speech capacity, however I do acknowledge he's been a president focused on what he calls "democratic prosperity" and I do think that is the right path, as do a majority of my fellow nationals

  • Colombians should be proud of this!!!

  • Great video!

  • This is an example of how the president Santos is a vulgar merchant of people; from min 20, and specifically from min 31, he sale the people, like a merchandise, to preserve American interests. The Colombians have dignity, and we do not share the statements of this kneeled president. Los colombianos no queremos ser gringos de segunda categoria

  • Great video - I've set up a website on Colombian politics It's a fascinating country, that's largely unreported. Santos is spot-on the US and others need to start paying attention to the country - and her neighbours.

  • @shussey100  thank you so proud to be colombian!!

  • You need to get to know the country of Colombia don't be scared its not every were that the farc controls. Its a very nice and pretty county
