  • Comunicado a La Opinión Pública in Memoriam La Asociación Colombiana De Oficiales En Retiro De Las Fuerzas Militares, Acore
    Comunicado a la opinión pública In memoriam La Asociación Colombiana de Oficiales en Retiro de las Fuerzas Militares, Acore, lamenta profundamente el repentino fallecimiento del ministro de Defensa Nacional, Carlos Holmes Trujillo, y expresa el más sentido saludo de condolencia a su esposa, sus hijos y demás integrantes de esta tradicional familia vallecaucana, saludo que hace extensivo al Gobierno Nacional en cabeza del presidente de la República, Iván Duque Márquez. Con la muerte de su ministro de Defensa, Colombia pierde a uno de sus hijos más egregios y a un verdadero patriota que consagró más de 44 años de su vida al servicio público, ocupando en este tiempo connotados cargos y designaciones, tanto en el país como en el exterior, toda vez que este líder político fue alcalde, embajador, ministro, constituyente y precandidato. Abogado de la Universidad del Cauca, inició su vida pública desempeñando su primer cargo como cónsul y encargado de negocios en la embajada de Colombia en Tokio, durante los gobiernos de Alfonso López Michelsen y de Julio César Turbay, entre 1976 y 1982. A su regreso al país fungió como secretario de Hacienda de Cali, en 1983, para luego ser el primer alcalde popular de la capital del Valle del Cauca, entre 1998 y 1990. De ahí, el ministro Trujillo saltó a la política nacional como cabeza de una de las listas del partido Liberal para la Asamblea Nacional Constituyente en 1991, destacándose en la redacción de nuestra actual Carta Magna. Su labor como Constituyente le valió para ser ministro de Educación del presidente César Gaviria, entre 1992 y 1994.
