On 23 March 2017, a threatening message was posted on social media: “@JuanpTello: @Las2Orillas, thanks to the democratic security policy, unionised guerrillas like @PalmaEdwin, can enjoy the privilege of staying at home rather than lying in a grave.” Edwin Palma Egea, vice president of the Unión Sindical Obrera (USO), had published an article on the Las2Orillas site around the date of the threat.
