Margarita Rosa de Francisco received criticism for defending a fan of Gustavo Petro

With more than 2.5 million followers on her social network account X (Twitter), Margarita Rosa de Francisco has become an influential figure on digital platforms after her career as an actress and presenter; However, recently, the political activist is in the eye of the hurricane due to her opinions on different national issues, which has generated a wave of criticism and divided comments among her followers.

One of the moments that triggered this controversy was a video in which a woman enthusiastically defends President Gustavo Petro. In response to this, Margarita Rosa de Francisco praised the woman’s passion and stated that “she is clear about it,” but that praise was just the beginning of a series of negative comments directed towards the presenter.

The woman in the video spread on social networks expressed: “I didn’t study, but I have the ‘university of life’, which teaches all majors, nothing more than politics, and political science, and law, and medicine. “All the races of life are made by life, by years, by churches.”

“I’m a Petrist to die for, even if you talk about it all you want, because the brutal people want Petro to fix the problem of all the bastard presidents who left the country embargoed more than 20 years ago in one year,” the woman concluded.

This comment and the positive response from Margarita Rosa de Francisco generated an intense debate on social networks. While some applauded her support for Gustavo Petro, others criticized her support and questioned her involvement in Colombian politics.

Different users responded to the former El Desafío presenter’s tweet and filled her with comments such as: “The lady is very wise, “the university of life” is the best school”; “I don’t think the lady will tank the car, she won’t do the market because if she doesn’t have a pension, her children will support her”; “Fanaticism is a bad advisor! We should be fans but of Colombia”; “Obviously it’s not going to fix anything! But don’t let everything come back to shit!!!!” “Petro is not fixing it, Petro is making the situation in the country worse!!!”

However, the controversy did not stop there, as Margarita Rosa de Francisco also shared her reflections on poverty and expressed her desire for a change in the global economic paradigm. These comments, made from her residence in Miami, unleashed a series of negative reactions from some of her followers.

It is important to mention that the presenter from Cali has lived in Miami for several years; in fact, in 2017, her home suffered significant damage as a result of Hurricane Irma. Despite this, she continues to live in the United States, which means that every time she expresses her opinion on Colombian affairs, many people point out that she is not in tune with the “reality” of the country.

“’The poor’ here and ‘the poor’ here. The poor, the poor, the poor. There should not be poor people in a world of solidarity and so immensely rich in life. The economic paradigm of the world will have to change, sooner or later. Is it so horrible to think about it?” Margarita Rosa de Francisco tweeted.

“A noble comment from the comfort and safety of a home in Miami, the joke is told alone”; “He came back to campaign, what consulate are he going to ask for?”; “Could you tell us how to end poverty and give two or three specific examples in the history of humanity? Thank you🤔🤔🤔🤔”; “You should give of yours, take the front line to live in Miami with you!! This is how you would contribute”; “Atte: @Margaritarosadf warbling from a $2 million dollar apartment in Miami!!! Thus communism/socialism is very easy to profess 🥺🥺🥺”; “*warbling from Miami”; were some of the comments that the actress received. With Infobae
