Through his official social network X, President Gustavo Petro announced his support and participation for another march convened for June 11, 2025. In his message, the president said he has decided to accompany said call.
The mobilizations that took place on May 27 and 28, sheltered under the name of national unemployment, They were not crowded, they failed in their massive character And, in fact, the Colombian head of state tried to uncheck them saying that he had not summoned them, even when there was evidence of their previous support through X and when he was in Barranquilla.
Similarly, within the framework of other mobilizations promoted or backed by the president, Gustavo Petro, it was evidenced that many of them were achieved after promising snacks or force state employees to congregate. In another march, it was the indigenous people who did majority, and were transferred from the south of the country to Bogotá with the aim of showing support from the “people.” At that time these indigenous people were also denounced in exchange for their “genuine” support to the government.
On the day of June 11, the indigenous presence in Cali is expected once again, given its proximity to Cauca, for example, to leave an image similar to what the Executive wanted to show in Bogotá.
Under this context, Alexander Vega, national exregistor of the civil status, said in De, that President Petro has worn both his own people with marches, that it is possible that this translates at the polls.
“There is the freedom of his political exercise; he has to justify the breach of his government program, the Development Plan. The President can convene people as a political actor, but I believe that the president will happen to the situation that he continues to call people and people go home because people wanted government results,” Maya said.
“Because if it was for leaving, they have already marched a lot, they have already protested a lot and it is that he forgets that he has to solve the problems of people, Concert with Congress, arrange with the governors, the development plans. I believe that in the end President Petro wears his own electorate, that this can be charged to his political project at the polls, ”added former Vega.
“I can already comment as co -director or president of the U. Party and we within the bench are clear that as independents we have supported things from the government, as other things we believe that they are not viable and, above all, they are not serious for the country from the point of view of exposing the stability of Colombia, in the economy, in the labor issues. In the end, that type of movements that the president makes are going to end up teaching,” added Alexander Vega.
“What the control bodies have to do, especially the Comptroller, is that every time they mobilize people are spending public resources and the protest cannot be paid. Of course, the president can go to the public square, but mobilize people with the state budget for a political cause …”, he said.
“The Comptroller has to determine to what extent all those agreements with RTVC, all those budgets, in the end, what is happening with that money? Because that political participation has to be to help democracy, all political sectors, and not only in a sector. Then, it is a call to the comptroller to review all those contracts and agreements that are making the mobilization of the people. His own electorate, “he said about the matter.
