“President Petro’s message begins to show some tyrannical aspirations, a thing to challenge public powers, which is precisely what a tyranny is,” said Senator Paloma Valencia.
According to Valencia, President Petro is making an invitation to violence because his “whims” does not approve. “It is very diminished, I ask Colombians to be united. We are in the new Petro phase showing a dictator’s face,” added the congresswoman.
“We are not afraid of him. The president prefers to buy the congressmen to get to consensus. We are in a new phase of Gustavo Petro, who begins to show him the dictator’s face,” the senator insisted.
See the Special Program on behalf of the fall of the popular consultation:
According to the photograph captured by Torres, Minister Benedetti asked Petro: “Who summons the general strike? Who is told to do it?”
Apart from this chat, both President Petro and Minister Benedetti have dispatched in his X accounts. “Now with tranquility, but knowing that the rights do not beg, it is up to the people to meet in Cabildo in all the municipalities of Colombia, and make the decision that corresponds to the response of the Senate of the Republic. I will personally meet with the popular council of the city of Barranquilla. There I will hear the popular decision as head of the military forces of Colombia and legitimate president of the Republic and I will abide by the decision of the popular cabildos Rights beg or silence the primary constituent ”, Petro wrote.
“This is fraud. The people should no longer (leave) snatch the triumph. The exit to the street is massive, but the popular coordination must take the steps to follow the democratic movement that is unleashed from now on, ”added the Head of State, an official visit in China.
“The popular consultation was not sank. They sank it with fraud, as in April 19, 1970. Senator Efraín Cepeda, knowing that the votes that made it most, closed the vote. Indigenous to take the next step. Decide.
Benedetti, in turn, wrote: “Today was fraudulent. The popular consultation sank fraudulently. The president of the Senate did not give the guarantees to vote, he closed the record when they saw that they were winning. They cheated today.”
“Malandrines. This video shows how the secretary of the Senate clogged a vote of the ‘yes’ and adds it to the votes of the ‘no’ after the vote closed. Hence my reaction. There will be a criminal complaint for that robbery. With that vote we would have been 48-48. And, in addition, they did not let at least 4 senators for the ‘Yes’, he added.
