Journalist and former foreign minister Rodrigo Pardo García-Peña dies. The former minister was also an accomplished marathon runner who left his mark on Colombian diplomacy, media and academia.
“He earns the admiration of an entire generation of journalists, he earns the respect of those of us who saw him analyze the country, advise it, write about it and breathe it in lungfuls in marathons through its streets,” reacted Andrés Mompotes, the director of El Tiempo.
