Last Thursday, in front of hundreds of supporters in the Plaza de Bolívar, President Petro said that the murder of the social leader was a consequence of the sinking of labor reform in Congress, as Peña was promoting popular consultation in his territory.
“Alberto Peña is the first dead thanks to the decisions of that congress, Alberto is killed by Pinto (congressman Miguel Ángel Pinto), for having denied the transit of labor reform, and although he did not order it, Alberto’s blood dirties you and his family,” he said that day.

He added: “Every group armed at the service of the narco in Colombia must know that its murder activity of the Colombian civilian population will be judged as a crime against humanity by national and international instances.”
