“I believe that today what President Gustavo Petro is going to do at the Teatro Colón is to launch the new jam brand and it is the petromemelada, ally with the U party, ally with that segment of the Green Party, where you have to exclude representatives such as Dr. Juvinao (Catherine Juvinao Clavijo) and Dr. Miranda (Katherine Miranda) and other congressmen, with the conservative party,” said.
“Today we see how President Gustavo Petro will present to all Colombians the new jam brand, the petromemelada. Second, we see President Gustavo Petro making practical decisions from the political point of view because, of course, he is thinking of the electoral contest of the year 2026 to continue his failed political project in the House of Nariño and in the Congress of the Republic, ”added the congressman.
“And one expects Colombians in an informed way to socially and electorally punish the historical pact, but also to the political parties that have been complicit in the Petro government and that today have several sectors in check, among them to the health sector. Here we see a president completely away from the reality of our country, ”added the congressman.
“President Gustavo Petro should be in the catatumboin the Bajo Cauca, here in Antioquia, where yesterday they burned an intermunicipal transport bus, should be in Cúcuta giving the citizens the face. Or in Cauca, recovering security and public order, but no, President Gustavo Petro is an incapable to lead the security of our country and what we have seen is already very comfortable by training politicians for the 2026 elections. This is pure political calculation, ”said the representative.
See the statements of representative Juan Espinal:
In the same way, he considered positive that Armando Benedetti concentrates the government in electoral matters so that, in this way, the Executive’s projects do not pass in the Congress of the Republic.
The debate, of week, complete:
Indigenous Minister
Colombia will have for the first time an indigenous minister, after a political scientist of the Amazon Ethnic group Uitoto Minika was designated, the previous Wednesday, as head of the Environment portfolio. Lena Estrada Yearkaziwho has a doctorate in sustainability, will replace in office to the outgoing Minister Susana Muhamad.
Estrada, whose traditional name is Judge, is coming from La Chorrera, a town in the Colombian Amazon known for having been the epicenter of the so -called “rubber genocide” perpetrated by entrepreneurs against indigenous communities between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. According to official figures, at least 60,000 members of several communities, including Uitoto, died.
Muhamad will leave the position after presiding over COP16 on biodiversity that resumed in Rome from February 25 to 27, after having had a first stage last year in the city of Cali. The minister had presented her resignation in recent days after publicly manifesting the president, Gustavo Petroits disagreement for the presence in the cabinet of a diplomat denounced for alleged violence of gender and corruption.
Petro trusts indigenous knowledge to conserve nature and face the challenges of the modern world. In their government, the members of the pre -Columbian communities have had an unprecedented prominence. Until now the most important position was that of Leonor Zalabeta, a member of the Arhuaca ethnicity that serves as a Colombian representative before the UN.
