Que paso con Antanas Mockus et al?

I saw Antanas Mockus once. There was this peace march in Cali back in 99 and Mockus walked in front of us at the beautiful old Hotel Aristi. What is Antanas doing these days? How about Ceasr Gaviria, Andres Patrana, and Ernesto Samper? Samper was the guy who had his US visa taken away right?

Where are these characters now?

One can only hope Mockus shaved that hideous beard.. He was a good mayor for Bogota,though, IMHO.. Gaviria is head of OAS.... Pastrami & Samper have both been vocal critics of the Uribe administration.. Like thay did anything except sit around with their thumbs up their butts when they were in office. Yes,Samper's visa was either suspended or revoked for a time when Colombia was de-certified in the so-called war on drugs. Typical Washington bullshit.

Mockus, according to "El Tiempo," is president of Corpovisionarios, a consulting firm, Ceasr Gaviria still trying to resurrect his NLC party, Andres Patrana no idea, Ernesto Samper lost his visa over the 6.5 million USD allegedly given his campaign by the narcos

Being a good mayor does not a president make.
