Talk:Pablo Escobar/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Virginia Vallejo was not one of Pablo Escobar's lovers: she was a top Colombian celebrity and anchor woman of the 80s and she is now a bestselling author. The contemptuous language used to describe this media personality is discriminatory, insulting and sexist. The author of “Amando a Pablo, Odiando a Escobar” happened to be not only Escobar's lover during half a decade, but the only prominent woman in his life and his witness of choice for historic events.

Virginia Vallejo's claims on President Alvaro Uribe have been confirmed by important journalists like Joseph Contreras and Fernando Garavito, Gabriel Reyes and Daniel Coronell.

The placement of Mark Bowden's book exactly in front of a special section dedicated to Virginia Vallejo, describing the American author's work as the true story of Pablo Escobar while questioning his Colombian lover's credibility, seems intentionally designed to damage Vallejo's image. This matter is so blatantly commercial that it constitutes a violation of all of Wikipedia's standards and principles. Wikipedia was not founded to promote books and movies. ~~Jairo~~
