Uribe is still way behind Euro Kings and Queens such as François Mitterrand (14 years as President of France), Chirac (12 years as President of France) Margaret Thatcher (11 years as Prime Minister of UK) Tony Blair (10 years as Prime Minister of UK).

But the biggest difference with the two latters ones I think is that Uribe was elected by the people as President of Colombia, contrary to Thatcher and Blair who were never elected by the people as PM.

It’s so funny to see what is considered democratic in Europe, suddenly becomes royalty or dictatorship in Colombia according to Romy…Oh the hypocrisy

Now why is it that in Canada when you have an excellent leader at an executive office, it is considered normal and democratic to have her elected 11 times at the same office, but in Colombia, more than two times is undemocratic? Oh the hypocrisy!

johnny, they were elected as MP by the people not PM.
