Hooded men who broke into Bogotá's Primate Cathedral for now will not be investigated

After a group of hooded men abruptly broke into a mass that was being held in Bogotá's Primate Cathedral on Sunday, March 20, Blu Radio learned that, for the time being, there will be no formal criminal investigation into these events.

According to the same media outlet, no investigation will be opened for the case at this time, because, in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Code, no criminal conduct was recorded since there was no total violation of religious worship since, after the protesters were withdrawn, the mass could be concluded.

Likewise, Blu Radio pointed out that no investigation will be opened for now because the Archdiocese of Bogotá stated that it will not file a complaint about the events, despite the fact that, according to the same media, the interruption of worship by the hooded men was a complainable action.

However, it should be recalled that, through a statement, the Archdiocese of Bogotá ruled on the facts asking all Colombians to respect the country's religious spaces, as well as asking citizens to seek appropriate scenarios to demonstrate.

For his part, President Iván Duque rejected the entry of the group of hooded men to the Primada Cathedral, where they read harangues against the national government, which caused unrest among those attending religious worship.

Through his Twitter account, the national president said that the beliefs and freedom of worship of all Colombians must be respected, so he assured that the group of hooded men would answer for these facts.

“It outrages the violation of freedom of worship, the aggression of the beliefs of others and the intention to trample on a sacred temple. This is what violent and intolerant people who want to impose their judgment do. Responsible will be held accountable for those facts. Everyone's faith is respected,” said President Duque.

After the mass broke into the Primada Cathedral by a group of hooded men, it became known through Twitter that these people are part of the 'Network of Artists in Resistence', a group belonging to the so-called 'First Line' and the Blue Shields.

This became known after a woman identified as' Simona ', one of the people who was behind the invasion of the Primada Cathedral, published a video on that social network about what happened last Sunday, March 20, together with a description in which she stated that the events were part of a performance by a group known as R.A.R ('Network of Artists in Resistance').

Through the same Twitter account, it was also known that this will not be the only event to be carried out by the 'Network of Artists in Resistance', since, in a trill published by 'Simona' on March 9, she reported that they will carry out “strikes, we will paint walls, we will scream in churches, in cemeteries, in squares”, in order to “enhance the combativity that characterizes art”.
