In the last century, in 1975, Operation Condor was established in Santiago, Chile, when the dictators of Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay met to coordinate military intelligence that promoted campaigns of terror, which materialized in criminal acts, such as forced disappearances, torture, homicides, and the kidnapping of children, with the clear purpose of repressing political dissent, represented above all by communism, in a context of rejection of the Soviet Union.
Operation Condor takes place during the Cold War, marked by the emergence of anti-communist policies implemented by the militarism with de facto power, which raised the banner of the fight against communism, a precursor to the fight (or war) against terrorism, because it brings together a right-wing ideology, based on national security, in which the communist is represented as a threat or internal enemy, for example, the guerrillas in Colombia, or an external one, any country with a socialist system, or simply a social system that moderately questions global capitalism.
Currently, the way to carry out this new Plan Condor is through electoral manipulation, marked by fraud perpetrated by exploiting software or hacking to alter election results.
Recent elections in countries like Ecuador, Honduras, Peru, and now Colombia have been marred by accusations of voter fraud and anti-democratic practices, such as external campaigns aimed at influencing votes in favor of right-wing candidates. All of this constitutes a violation of voters' political rights.
In Colombia, President Gustavo Petro denounced the fraud that favored the right-wing candidate, Abelardo De la Espriella. The results were riddled with irregularities, such as municipalities with more registered voters than inhabitants and perfectly synchronized voting by blocks, which is only possible through software manipulation. Clearly, there is no longer a need to seize power de facto, in the style of Videla or Pinochet, but rather to wait for elections to be scheduled in order to then, through an electoral coup, take political power in an undemocratic manner, despite their claims to the contrary, thus recalling Operation Condor.
