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.

Gustavo Petro stated that those who had ruled Latin America for two centuries presented the replacement of brief periods of progressive and humanist governments as a change. He claimed that this stance reflected a contradiction of Donald Trump and that his allies in the region did not understand it. Petro said that Latin America was the most unequal region in the world and attributed inequality to drug trafficking, migration, and violence. He argued that reducing it was the remedy and that, in Latin American history, only progressive governments had achieved it, citing the Government of Life in Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, Bolivia, Correa's Ecuador, and Uruguay. He also stated that Trump had accepted the proposal of Marco Rubio and had prioritized an agenda against progressivism over the fight against drug trafficking. He added that progressive ideas had been present since the birth of all American republics, including the United States. Petro warned that Trump's policies would increase social and economic inequality, drug trafficking, violence, and migration to the north. He also asserted that, for Latin American peoples whose elections, according to him, had been falsified by the direct interference of a foreign government, rebellion was the only recourse left. #AméricaLatina #Desigualdad #Progresismo (translated)

¿Que es este pago? Cómo es posible que la familia Guillinsky que ha hecho su riqueza en Colombia y ha sido ayudada por las políticas progresistas en su programa de industrialización no sea capaz de donar estos 22 millones de dólares a la universidad nacional o a la universidad del Valle? los dineros son privados dirán, y pueden hacer con el capital lo que quieran, atesorar, invertir o donar, ¿donar a quien? Donar enriquece a otras personas, y cuando se ofrece se hace un don, la etica humana habla que se debe donar a los que más necesitan, no una limosna, sino el capital necesario para despegar proyectos y lograr que otras personas mejoren su calidad de vida Colombia decidió ayudar al pueblo español y al pueblo judío en la segunda guerra mundial, abrió sus puertas y entregó amor. Señores Guillinsky si Colombia recibió al fundador de la familia que escapaba de los campos de concentración y muerte en la Polonia invadida por los nazis, y enriqueció con el trabajo de miles de colombianos y colombianas a sus descendientes una de las cuales es la embajadora de Colombia ante Israel y no menciona siquiera la palabra genocidio y holocausto que el fundador de la familia exiliado de Europa si pronunció igual que habló del holocausto, como es que la familia Guillinsky contemporánea y muy rica gracias a Colombia y el amor colombiano hacia los extranjeros que llegaban perseguidos, ahora donan es a los ricos en los EEUU que no los acogieron en los tiempos de los nazis? ¿En que Patria está su corazón? Bueno, pues la universidad de Pensilvania debe saber que a sus venas financieras entra como valor para el conocimiento de las y los jóvenes estadounidenses el trabajo de miles de trabajadores y trabajadoras colombianas la mayoría de los cuales no puede enviar a sus hijos a una universidad de calidad. Ojalá esos jóvenes le brinden a Colombia a cambio, algo de lo aprendido para ayudar a sacar mas gentes de la pobreza y lograr que el corazón del mundo, que es Colombia, pueda desarrollar una humanidad libre y sabia. #Colombia #Donación #Ética
