Andrea Petro’s dart at Miguel Polo Polo for criticizing Minga

And this man is indigenous? He is dressed as an alleged member of the indigenous minga that marched in favor of Petro on February 8 and tried to break into the courthouse.

Faced with this, Andrea Petro, daughter of President Gustavo Petro, commented on the congressman’s publication with the following message: “But didn’t you pretend to be one? And have recognition of it?”

This criticism made by Andrea Petro refers to a complaint that was made against the Cartagenero politician, since, apparently, would have registered as a member of an indigenous community to receive the benefit of a scholarship.

This came to light when, in 2022, Polo Polo wrote several comments on his social networks that were called ‘racist’ by Internet users.. This publication talked about the indigenous people in the midst of the social protests that were taking place in Bogotá.

“The indigenous thugs believe they are above everything and that they have a license to kill. They no longer only go into farms and kill black people, but they are in Bogotá killing police officers and destroying companies. But according to the government, this is justifiable, since they are rabid. It was time to defend ourselves! ”Wrote the congressman through his Twitter account.

In the comments, it was an Internet user who published a document, supposedly signed by Martha Isabel Venegas, Coordinator of the research and registration group in 2019, where the congressman is credited as belonging to the Isla Gallinazo community.

For its part, after this document became known, Miguel Polo Polo assured that he had never studied with an indigenous scholarship, and that the only academic aid he would have gotten was granted by the Colombo Americano to study English.
