Colombian Voters Reject the US-Imposed "Plan Colombia"

The Party's Over for Pastrana

His Conservative Party Loses in all 30 State
Elections in Yesterday's Historic Vote

The big losers in yesterday's state and municipal elections in Colombia were
that nation's president Andrés Pastrana -- whose party lost all 30 state
governorships -- and the US officials who imposed the $1.3 billion dollar
"Plan Colombia" military intervention.

The Colombian people, in yesterday's historic vote, soundly rejected Plan
Colombia, as new parties and coalitions surged forward to take half the
nation's states from both leading political parties -- Conservative and
Liberal -- in a nation that for 40 years has had a US-style two-party
system.
