Gustavo Petro stated that a discrediting strategy had ended and argued that the use of the expression "in my opinion" aimed to evade legal proceedings. He said he would take legal action and asserted that, unlike right-wing sectors that, according to him, had made it their mission to kill those who thought differently, his Government had guaranteed respect for the opposition. Petro indicated that, in a meeting in his office, he had told Senator Miguel Uribe Turbay and former President Álvaro Uribe that the opposition would have the guarantees provided by law and the Constitution. He asserted that his Government had fully respected the opposition for four years. He also maintained that whoever killed Miguel Uribe had no connection to the Government and that the matter should be clarified through criminal and civil proceedings that, he said, he had decided to initiate due to what he described as slanders against him. #PolíticaColombiana #Justicia #DerechosHumanos (translated)

Gustavo Petro said that Angie Rodríguez would not present evidence publicly and maintained that she would have to submit it to the courts. He denied having ordered her to talk to paramilitaries to attack someone and asserted that if Rodríguez asked Salvatore Mancuso for such a thing, it was her decision and she must answer to the judges. Petro pointed out that Rodríguez left the government for giving public positions to an heir of paramilitarism. He also said that she had talked about her private life with claims that he described as false and absurd. He denied that there were sexual photos or videos on his phone or that drugs or alcohol were consumed in his offices, and he rejected having any addictions. In defense of his rights, he invoked articles 15 and 21 of the Constitution regarding privacy, good name, and honor, and article 20 about freedom of expression and rectification. He added that, according to article 29, whoever accuses must prove it, and the presumption of innocence applies. Petro stated that Rodríguez worked by his side for a long time and never witnessed acts of corruption or his attempts to obtain personal benefits. He said that if she had seen a crime, she would have had the duty to report it, but she did not do so and had not presented evidence. He announced that he would go to court and take the case to its final consequences so that, he said, Rodríguez's intentions would be known. #Justicia #Intimidad #LibertadDeExpresión (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that Laura Sarabia never blackmailed him during his time in government.

Gustavo Petro argued that he did not need to request statements from paramilitaries against Álvaro Uribe or Abelardo de la Espriella, as he wrote, those statements had been made years earlier under the Justice and Peace Law, which required telling the truth in order to obtain political benefits. He stated that the friendship between De la Espriella and Salvatore Mancuso was documented in photographs and was public knowledge. He also pointed out a document from a foundation advising paramilitaries in which, he said, De la Espriella participated along with the current president of Ecopetrol, Joaquín Gutierrez. Petro added that the environment surrounding Mancuso and the people holding high public positions allowed for the existence of that relationship to be noted. #Colombia #Justicia #Política (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that the two former officials of his government had not presented evidence of their accusations to the Prosecutor's Office, which he described as slanders. He said he would take them to criminal proceedings so they could present their evidence and the justice system could decide. Petro denied having asked paramilitaries to accuse a specific person and maintained that, during his political control debates as a congressman, he himself had made accusations based on judicial evidence. Regarding Abelardo, he stated that his relationship as an advisor to paramilitarism had been mentioned and documented with photographs in those debates, and that it had appeared in paramilitary confessions for years. He also said that what happened in Ralito had been established through a law of the Republic and attributed the proposal to subordinate legal benefits to telling the whole truth to the Constitutional Court. According to Petro, his government had only warned that the process should be concluded with truth, restorative justice, and guarantees of non-repetition. https://t.co/AVzLiUP0CA #Justicia #Verdad #Corrupción (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that congressmen from the Historical Pact had detected a formal defect in the budget, which was at risk of sinking.

Gustavo Petro stated that the general budget could not become law because the texts approved by the Senate and the Chamber did not match. He also claimed that it included a provision to allocate 5 trillion for the payment of private EPS accounts, something that, according to him, the Government could only do regarding debts of national or mixed public EPS. He added that there was only one entity of that kind, Nueva EPS, and that half of its shares belonged to the national Government. #Presupuesto #EPS #Gobierno (translated)

He also argued that all suitcases were searched at Catam before the departure of the FAC planes. #Calumnias #Verdad #Justicia (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that on his stage there were minors who expressed through poetry and songs their affinity with a government that, he said, they felt protected them. He added that they were accompanied by their parents and had their permission. Petro questioned the opening of eight processes against Congresswoman María Fernanda Carvajal for the expression of minors with their parents' permission, and labeled the measure as a “progrom” against the bench that, he pointed out, the people voted for by a majority. https://t.co/lX10AWMTu1 #DerechosHumanos #LibertadDeExpresión #Infancia (translated)

Gustavo Petro denied having ordered anyone to pressure someone to testify against Álvaro Uribe or another political leader and stated that no evidence had been presented to demonstrate this. In response to the statements of Salvatore Mancuso and Angie Rodríguez, he requested that the facts be investigated and documents, communications, recordings, and the names of those involved be made public. Petro maintained that the meeting with former commanders of the self-defense groups was not held in secret and that it was established by Resolution 327 on September 21, 2025. He wrote that the act aimed to clarify the truth, repair the victims, and conclude a peace process that had begun more than twenty years ago. He added that the Attorney General's Office, the Public Prosecutor's Office, and the Ombudsman's Office were considered permanent guests to accompany and supervise the process, and asked if they had been summoned and if their representatives attended. The president said that if anyone used that space to pressure testimonies or fabricate accusations, they must respond to justice. He also stated that anyone attributing to him an order he had not given would have to answer for their statements, and insisted that responsibilities must be proven, not based on rumors. Petro linked the controversy to the need to clarify who ordered massacres, financed paramilitary groups, or benefited from their crimes. He stated that the victims deserved answers and reiterated that everything should be investigated and all parties should be heard. #Colombia #Verdad #Justicia (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that the nearly 50% drop in cocaine seizures during his government had strengthened drug trafficking organizations, which he claimed had 45% more resources. He said this gave them greater capacity to obtain weapons and mercenaries, buy coca leaves, and kill the population. Petro questioned what he called the media spectacle of Abelardo, who appeared with a gun at his waist and a bulletproof vest. He stated that between August 7 and September 19, 2026, 94,868 kilos were seized, the lowest record in five years for that period. In the first year of his presidency, he noted, 147,239 kilos were seized, 58% more. He added that cocaine seizures had fallen by 47% compared to 2025, with 63,310 kilos confiscated. According to Petro, September recorded the lowest monthly seizure since December 2021, when 36,635 kilos were seized. #Narcotráfico #Cocaína #Incautaciones (translated)
