Vicky Dávila said that she did not believe in the image of a good man, husband, and father that, according to her, Gustavo Petro projected. As examples, she recalled that Petro had referred to his son Nicolás with the phrase "I did not raise him" and claimed that he had appeared with another partner in Panama and, a month later, with Verónica Alcocer as first lady at the Olympic Games. Dávila described his attitude as immoral and argued that he had never set a good example. She also accused Petro's government of corruption, theft, and empowering criminals. #Corrupción #PolíticaColombiana #GustavoPetro (translated)

Jaime Arizabaleta wrote that Gustavo Petro had not published on X for 13 hours, despite the fact that, according to him, he used to tweet every two minutes. He added that Petro had said nothing about his ex-wife or about what Eva Ferrer had said, and ironically suggested that he had lost internet connection. #GustavoPetro #PolíticaColombiana #RedesSociales (translated)

Yesid Lancheros wrote that Eva Ferrer pointed out the Italians Enrico Romagnoli and Fabio Mascialino, as well as Carolina Plata and Danilo Romero, as alleged front men for Verónica Alcocer.

Felipe Zuleta Lleras criticized the "intergalactic jaguar" for, as he wrote, stigmatizing Miguel Uribe and Mayor Galán. He stated that this person still thought and acted like a guerrilla, even though they had exchanged the mountains for the podium, and maintained that they upheld the same pattern of stigmatization and verbal attacks. He also mocked the idea that this was the government of "change." #Estigmatización #PolíticaColombiana #Cambio (translated)

Russy Millán wrote that a woman from the Petrist movement had said that, after two months with Abelardo, she was experiencing the precariousness of OPS contracts, while with Petro she had had dignity and memory. Millán claimed that he reviewed her posts and that, according to them, in 2024, during Petro's government, she was unemployed and had complained on X. https://t.co/eQZppaH4pS #Petro #Abelardo #PolíticaColombiana (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)

Melquisedec Torres compared the votes and campaign expenses of congressman Daniel Briceño and presidential candidate Sondra Macollins. He stated that Briceño received 264,838 votes in Bogotá and spent 410 million pesos, equivalent to 1,548 pesos per vote, reimbursed through reimbursement. Torres claimed that Macollins received 4.5 billion pesos in advances and that, according to him, she spent it with her family. He calculated that this represented 225,146 pesos for each of her 19,987 votes nationwide. He also asserted that the cost per vote was 145 times higher than that of Briceño and said that the system needed to be changed, although he did not detail his proposal. #Elecciones2023 #Votación #PolíticaColombiana (translated)

Gustavo Petro said that he had criticized the mayor of Sincelejo many times and compared his political background to that of Abelardo de la Esprirlla: he described the former as of popular origin and the latter as a landowner. He stated that a landowner with equal or worse political habits had sent armed civilians with rifles to prevent the mayor from speaking at an event, and had insulted him and deprived him of the opportunity to defend himself. Petro maintained that he would never have acted that way with people like Fico, Galán, Rendón, Eder, or the mayor of Bucaramanga, whom he called corrupt. He also pointed out that armed civilians with rifles protecting the president, even if they worked for private security companies, could be defined as paramilitaries. He added that, in his opinion, the president should be protected by public officials subject to civilian oversight, not by private businesses, especially if they were shady and armed. https://t.co/hqGbK3wgxv #Sincelejo #PolíticaColombiana #DerechosHumanos (translated)

Russy Millán considered it unusual for a president to directly call someone corrupt and to remove people suspected of corruption from his government at the first signs of evidence. In contrast, he stated that Gustavo Petro had defended and rewarded Ricardo Roa, Laura Sarabia, Daniel Quintero, and Jorge Iván Ospina. #Corrupción #PolíticaColombiana #Transparencia (translated)

The attack on María José Pizarro, vice president of the Senate, who was supposed to replace Mr. Name whenever he did not attend. And these are the mentions made during the criminal process that seek to create a false narrative about the approval of our pension reform law. They want to take away the right to pension. Mr. Iván Name never belonged to the government bench; on the contrary, since I was mayor of Bogotá, he dedicated himself to opposing and obstructing our proposals. Mr. Iván Name sabotaged the pension reform debate by shelving it on his desk as president of the Senate for 8 months, just as magistrate Ibáñez did, just so he could kill the pension rights project by running it to the limit of time so that it would sink. Mr. Name was paid money like Olmedo not because it was bribery money for the law project he sabotaged, but because it was money they stole to finance their own political campaigns. The attack on María José Pizarro only seeks to prevent the pension project from being implemented, trying to save private pension funds by extending the pension age for all Colombians. #ReformaPensional #DerechosSociales #PolíticaColombiana (translated)

Senadora: el Departamento de Estado no le va a dar explicaciones. No le corresponde. En cambio, usted sí podría explicarle a La Guajira qué pasó con los más de 2.100 millones de la UNGRD para jagüeyes y maquinaria amarilla. https://t.co/hNniS44wyj #PolíticaColombiana #LaGuajira #Transparencia

Será el representante @CuencaGuainia, presidente de la comisión de acusaciones, quien asignará la denuncia contra Vladimir Fernández sobre lo revelado por @estoescambio. ¿Le dará a un congresista del Pacto Histórico la investigación del ex secretario jurídico de Petro? #PolíticaColombiana #Congreso #Justicia

Hoy la Comisión de Acusaciones de la Cámara de Representantes cumple 2 años de completa parálisis. En un momento en donde salen evidencias de graves omisiones de altos funcionarios por el caso de la UNGRD, la comisión tiene los términos suspendidos y se encuentra en completamente quieta. A la fecha no se he podido repartir el primer proceso, son más de 2.400 investigaciones que van camino a la impunidad, el papel de la Cámara de Representantes en estos momentos es lamentable. Le pedimos a la presidencia de la Cámara de Representantes y al gobierno nacional destrabar la Comisión de Acusaciones mediante la asignación de los recursos para su funcionamiento. Esto es absolutamente vergonzoso para el país. #PolíticaColombiana #CámaraDeRepresentantes #Impunidad

Lo de Iván Cepeda contra este senador ya es una persecución sistemática. Ayer, en plena plenaria, lo anunció públicamente: esto apenas comienza. Cuando alguien como Cepeda anuncia que esto apenas comienza, ¿qué se puede esperar? La gravedad de sus palabras no puede pasar inadvertida. ¿Hasta dónde pretenden llegar? ¿Qué sigue? Juzguen ustedes. #PolíticaColombiana #DerechosHumanos #LibertadDeExpresión
