I like the fact that the article tries to be objective by recognizing that Uribe's government was of great value to the country, but that because of his overwhelming popularity as president he became entitled, arrogant and egocentric, and he has now become a spoke in the wheel for progress and peace in the country.

In addition to being corrupted by power, he has also surrounded himself with yes men who have led a Trump-like lie campaigns around the country (recognized by them) that led people to vote for No in the peace process, and is now demanding impossible concessions from the government and the guerrilla to try and stall the peace process until he or his party members are reelected into power (next presidential elections are less than a year and a half away), while leaving the country at huge risk of going back to guerrilla warfare, terrorism and political violence.
