On the recordSeptember 22, 1998
Proud of our heritage, we are now going to seek the best for our future. We are not only conferring the presidency upon me today; we are also inaugurating a new era for Colombia on the right path. I make a commitment to myself and to you to govern without privileges nor discriminations, but for all Colombians. Those who hold the highest positions in government shall have the greatest obligations under the law, and those who think that power gives one the right to break the law shall not govern. Put simply, there shall be no room for corruption in my administration and it shall not be tolerated nor forgiven.
