Strong message from Petro to Cabal: “It seems that there is a coup”

In his statements, Petro expressed a “total rejection” to the military coup in Bolivia and called for democratic resistance throughout Latin America. In a significant political gesture, he announced that the Colombian embassy in Bolivia would be open to grant refuge to those persecuted by the coup regime and stated that Colombia would not maintain any diplomatic relationship with what he called “the dictatorship” in Bolivia.

For its part, the Colombian government, represented by the Foreign Ministry of Luis Gilberto Murillo, issued an official statement strongly repudiating the actions of the Bolivian Army units that threatened the constitutional order in La Paz. The Petro government expressed solidarity with the Bolivian people and demanded the restoration of institutional dialogue and respect for human rights in Bolivia.

This verbal confrontation between Gustavo Petro and María Fernanda Cabal has further polarized the political debate in Colombia, generating divisions both nationally and internationally. Meanwhile, the international community is closely watching the evolution of the situation in Bolivia, with calls for the restoration of democratic order and stability in the region.

The diplomatic tension between progressive and conservative sectors in Colombia reflects a panorama of growing political polarization in Latin America, where leaders and political forces clash not only due to ideological differences, but also due to the interpretation of critical events that affect democratic stability in the region.
