Carlos Felipe Mejía, chosen by De la Espriella as Colombia's ambassador to Spain, has generated controversy due to his criticisms of Spanish President Pedro Sánchez and his messages in favor of the right, which puts the appointment in a delicate situation before the Colombian community in the European country. #CarlosFelipeMejía #EmbajadorColombia #PedroSánchez (translated)

Abelardo De La Espriella stated that his government and President Donald Trump's government were determined to leverage the commercial potential between Colombia and the United States to open opportunities for Colombian companies, attract investments, and create more and better quality jobs. He argued that increased investment would raise citizen incomes and that physical and legal security would make the country more attractive to investors. He also mentioned that the discussions between Commerce Minister Mauricio Gómez and Ambassador in Washington María Consuelo Araújo with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer were advancing toward a more dynamic, balanced, and prosperous economic relationship, with concrete benefits for both peoples. He concluded his post with patriotic and religious slogans. #ComercioColombiaEEUU #InversionExtranjera #OportunidadesEconómicas (translated)

Ayuso described Madrid as an open house to all accents of Spanish. #Hispanidad #Cultura #Madrid (translated)

Carol Borda wrote that the justice system of the United States had revealed that Nicolás Maduro was paying off drug trafficking debts by arming Colombian narco-guerrillas. She also pointed out that Eva Ferrer accused the former first lady of transporting drugs on official planes and bringing in 2.5 million dollars. Borda stated that, instead of diplomatic integration with Caracas, it was a criminal network that shared money and routes. #Justicia #Narcotráfico #Colombia (translated)

The author wrote that she had received a chat about private conversations and that, upon arriving home, her grandparents, her parents, and an uncle raised their voices at her and told her that she was acting wrongly, which made her cry. She said she felt powerless for not being able to defend the fans and questioned the hostility towards them for loving BTS, as well as whether those who criticized them listened to what the group said. She also stated that a video in which, according to her, they had apparently seen a member of BTS and were yelling at him to get down had caused her anger and disgust. She closed by asking those still in Miraflores to return home safely, as she wrote that there were still many people there, including passersby, foreigners, tourists, fans, and people who were not. #Cultura #Impotencia #Fans (translated)

Gustavo Petro criticized a senator's attitude towards Guillermo Alfonso Jaramillo during a police promotion event to which, he said, the minister had been invited. He also stated that the senator had asked Jaramillo to leave the Senate chamber, despite Petro's belief that he should have been awarded the Cruz de Boyacá, a distinction he claimed to have granted him. Petro attributed improvements in citizens' perceptions of the Police to his government and said that 17,000 patrol officers had been promoted to subinspectors, that their salaries had been increased, and that officers linked to alias Pitufo had been removed from the institution. He added that Jaramillo had pushed for improvements in healthcare for police officers and their families and contributed to building the hospital in southern Bogotá. He claimed that Abelardo had returned the Police's medications to the Char clan. The president maintained that during his government, thefts and domestic violence had decreased and linked this reduction to lower poverty and hunger rates and an increase in the minimum vital wage. He also stated that improvement in economic conditions strengthened families. Petro asked when police and farmers had been seen uprooting coca crops on thousands of hectares planted during Iván Duque's government. He said that trust between the two groups was key to taking Colombia out of drug trafficking. Finally, he accused Abelardo of handing 16 key positions in different branches of the Government to people from his own office to facilitate the massive return of goods seized through asset forfeiture. Petro argued that this situation suggested the construction of a "mafia state" capable of unleashing another Colombian holocaust. #PolíticaColombiana #DerechosHumanos #Progreso (translated)

Gustavo Petro asked the owner of El Espectador to publish the evidence that he claimed to have presented to the justice system to denounce a fraud. He asserted that the newspaper was hiding it for fear that a person he deemed illegitimate would reward him by eliminating the vital minimum wage. Petro argued that the fraud should not be resolved through a legal tutor and that the people should express themselves first. Among the evidence he requested to be disclosed, he mentioned E14 forms which, he claimed, could be modified after the arbitrary and illegal elimination of a Hash lock by the incumbent registrar. He also requested the publication of expert analysis regarding the supposed absolute absence of randomness in the results of thousands of consecutive polling places, which, according to him, would respond to a mathematical formula and not to the actions of voters. He said that peers and experts should be able to examine that evidence. #FraudeElectoral #Periodismo #DerechoAVerdad (translated)

Gustavo Petro stated that some airlines intended to apply the U.S. OFAC law in Colombia due to his ties with Colombian individuals. He asserted that this legislation did not apply in Colombian territory and that for it to do so, the country would need to change its Constitution through a Constituent Assembly. Petro said that OFAC had stopped focusing on drug traffickers and that, according to him, people opposed to the genocide in Gaza were included on its lists. He claimed that he was sanctioned for his speech before the UN and for asking for the formation of a United Nations army to defend Gaza, which would include the Colombian battalion deployed in Sinai to protect Palestinian children. He also accused the DEA of spending a year searching for and fabricating evidence regarding alleged links of his with drug trafficking. He said that drug traffickers whom he himself extradited, and who he claimed wanted to kill him, were the ones who believed those accusations. He maintained that Colombian drug trafficking had political influence, but that it was not found in progressivism, which, according to him, the narcos had pursued and attacked. Petro accused drug trafficking of supporting extreme right-wing ideas and stated that Colombian drug traffickers had access to the White House while poor farmers and people transporting small amounts of drugs through the Caribbean were being pursued. He added that drug traffickers with judicial agreements in the United States were moving shipments in submarines and had fleets of planes, and asserted that cocaine traveled in containers from companies of presidents who met with Donald Trump. Finally, Petro claimed that alias Fito contradicted journalist Vicky by saying he did not know him and that, instead, he was a friend and partner of the person who accused him. #Colombia #DerechosHumanos #JusticiaSocial (translated)

"We couldn't leave the house so they wouldn't see us and the neighbors wouldn't suspect. We couldn't talk loudly, shout, open the blinds, and open the windows; we had to be locked up so that people wouldn't realize," narrates Ana, a young Colombian who arrived in Spain on December 23, 2024, in search of a better future. #ExplotaciónSexual #TrataDePersonas #Prostitución (translated)

Gustavo Petro criticized the Minister of Agriculture for talking about stopping rice cultivation and called the proposal miserable for the Colombian people. He argued that rice was nutritious and that the country should move towards food self-sufficiency. He warned that a fall in the peso, a mega-drought, and rising food prices would increase hunger. He also stated that the Ibagué plateau had rice yields similar to those of the United States. Petro said he had proposed a "rice route" that would include cooperative mills owned by producers, cheap credit, cooperation with Chinese universities to improve techniques and productivity, tariff protection, and the expansion of rice-growing areas. He also suggested building the road between Ayapel, San Marcos, and Magangué, deepening agrarian reform in Magangué and southern Bolívar, and allowing water to flow in La Mojana. He asserted that Colombia should produce more cereals and replace extensive livestock farming on 15 million hectares of fertile land with food agriculture in the hands of peasant farmers and small and medium producers. He added that cashew production was important, but not as a substitute for rice-growing areas: he proposed cultivating it in low-productivity livestock areas, as a voluntary alternative to coca leaf crops and in the Colombian altillanura. Petro linked the minister's announcement about rice production to land burning in Tolima due to human action and to what he described as the idea of Abelardo and Restrepo of substituting production and intensive labor for hydrocarbon extraction and activities with less employment. https://t.co/zB0X6wz13i #Arroz #AutosuficienciaAlimentaria #ProducciónAgrícola (translated)

Who is Diana Patricia Bravo, a member of De la Espriella's legal team who is part of the defense of Alex Saab, just like Abelardo de la Espriella, the head of the team? Today they ask that his financial and tax gaps not be politically exploited. But how can Alex Saab's defender in the U.S. return Alex Saab's assets under the presidency of the republic, which is the Head of State? If the legal team led by Abelardo de la Espriella worked in the defense of criminals and drug traffickers in the U.S., how can one of these lawyers head the entity where precisely all the seized assets of their defendants are, and they want them to be returned, as publicly stated by Mr. Juan Fernando Alvarez Meyerndoff, trying to use me as a bargaining chip to recover their assets worth 700 million dollars? I gave a clear directive in my government: the assets of the mafia go, if they are rural, to the peasantry, and if they are suburban and urban, to public universities and cooperatives for victims of violence. They talk about not politicizing, but how can it be explained that Diana Patricia Bravo, as a prosecutor in Barranquilla, a prosecutor's office dominated by Char, raids three venues of the Historical Pact in the second round looking for money with which we were accused of vote-buying from a foreign government, and any Colombian knows perfectly well who buys votes in Barranquilla. #AlexSaab #Justicia #DerechosHumanos (translated)

We are experiencing a new chapter in the hysteria of some members of the Colombian left. The new narrative consists of repeating over and over that “Briceño’s political work is just bots.” 264,838 bots rose up, took their ID, and went with their families to vote for this project a few months ago. To those bots, thank you always. And to the left, a respectful piece of advice: look for an agenda, talk about the country, and don’t waste so much time letting your imagination fly in conspiracy theories that even your own supporters don’t believe. Attached is the official certificate of our bots. #Colombia #Política #Narrativa (translated)

Solo atrévase a mirar las estadísticas de pobreza de Colombia por ciudades y atrévase a diculparse ante su público porque enconcantrará que la ciudad de Santa Marta fué la capital departamental en todo el país donde más cayó la pobreza. Deje de transmitirle su ignorancia a qienes la ven y lea La desalinizadora de agua potable para medio millón de personas que acaba de suspender Abelardo, fué estudiada, viabilizada, financiada por mi gobierno, y estaba en la fase de adjudición para construcción. Preguntese ¿por qué la suspendieron en el actual gobierno? Pregúntese por que el grupo empresarial Antioqueño estimulo y lo logró suspender el megaproyecto del primer data center para inteligencia artificial y la capacidad de computación en mano de la propiedad pública de Colombia protegiendo la data colombiana y porque Abelardo no continúa el prouecto y busca es privatizar ISA que al ser dueña de Interneza es la dueña del proyecto. Preguntese porque el gobierno de EEUU sabotea que Colombia tenga capacidad computacional altael u propiedad estatal de las grandes bases de datos de la sociedad colombiana. Si dejé financiada los presupuestos de la desalinizadora u el megadata por un billón y medio de pesos que estan guardados en las arcas de hacienda y regalías tan vitales para Santa Marta y Colombia ¿por qué los suspendió Abelardni diera la candidata de oposición u ahora periodista de los Giillinsky no vio siquiera la cantidad para nuevas sedes universitarias de la universidad del Magdalena, especialmente la sede en Ciénaga que usó el edificio donde se.quedó el ejército colombiano que realizó la.masacre de las bananeras. No ha contado la.periodista política de marras de investigar la cantidad de tierra de los narcos que entregamos al campesinado del Magdalena aumentando su producción agraria. La ceguera ideológica de Vicky de extremo sectariamo ideológico no le deja ver la realidad. #Colombia #Pobreza #DesarrolloSostenible

Así se trabaja, Abelardo: juntos y con resultados. Las capturamos en Colombia y enfrentarán a la justicia en Ecuador. Ellas están llamadas a juicio por lavado de activos para los choneros. El dinero que compra armas, paga sicarios y sostiene extorsiones. Es la estructura con la que aterrorizan a las familias ecuatorianas. Nuestra Policía y el CNI, con el apoyo del FBI y de las autoridades colombianas, hicieron posible su captura. Ahora regresan al Ecuador a responder a los ecuatorianos. #Justicia #Colombia #Ecuador
