Let me just make a correction. I think his cousin was also implicated before. In other words, it's not the first time that Uribe's family was implicated with narco-paramilitary groups or paramilitary groups, so maybe other members of his family were also implicated before.
Again, the issue is not really Uribe. It's the heavy penetration of organized crime in the state. That's essential to keep in mind. We have a state that is heavily penetrated, and you will see the consequence of that penetration even after the elections. Therefore it is going to take the Colombian state many years to purify itself of this penetration process. It is really a very serious concern. In the Latin American context maybe Guatemala is second and maybe Mexico is third. But definitely Colombia is really high in terms of the level of penetration, so it goes beyond Uribe and his family, his cousin, and his brother. It is the whole apparatus of the state itself, and that's the most dangerous aspect that is attracting the attention of this committee to pay extra care. I've been studying that. I'm warning you—in other words, that's a warning shot. You have a state that is compromised, its legitimacy is compromised. Can you imagine 30% of the congress, 30% of the police force, the entire DAS department compromised? What kind of a state is this? That's the fundamental question.
On the implications of the free trade agreement, again, the economic consequences of that is basically to undermine an ongoing process of the food security of the country itself. According to the free trade agreement, the key sectors that will be affected immediately are, for instance, the growers of lentils, barley, wheat, and peas. We're talking about the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people who might be affected. Just two days ago, as you may know, the president signed an agreement with the EU. Immediately, the reaction was that the cattle ranchers and the small-cattle ranchers were saying that 400,000 people will be affected by this type of an agreement. If you take the agreement of Canada in the context of all of the agreements that Colombia is making, it's disastrous for the future of the nation in terms of food security, its political security and stability, and ongoing conflicts. Therefore it's not only about Canada and Colombia; it's about what's happening to Colombia because of these different trade agreements that Colombia's government is committed to. There's a certain part of the economic development that's not sustainable.
