Now they are shouting and expressing outrage, but not because they disagree with the deal, but because they have just realized that they are left without hostages from the most powerful country in the world.
From El Salvador, we are in communication and ready to provide immediate support with our rescue teams, medical personnel, paramedics, supplies, or any other assistance that our Colombian brothers and sisters deem necessary.
I demand that they return the Salvadorans alive, unharmed, and if they do so, everything will go back to the way it was before the kidnapping.
