With 72 votes, the Plenary of the Congress approved the motion proposed by the Foreign Relations Commission that declares persona non grata and expresses its rejection of the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petrofor his offensive comments recently made about the Peruvian National Police.
The initiative of the working group, chaired by María del Carmen Alva, expressly rejects “the unacceptable expressions of Mr. Gustavo Francisco Petro Urrego, President of the Republic of Colombia, which constitute an offense against our National Police of Peru, the Republic of Peru and, by trivializing the Holocaust, it also constitutes an offense against the entire Jewish people, many of whose members are Peruvian nationals”.
And it is that a few days ago, the Colombian president questioned the actions of our forces of order in the face of demonstrations and protests against the government of Dina Boluarte.

“In Peru they march like Nazis, against their own people, breaking the American Convention on Human Rights,” he said then, adding that “the American Convention on Human Rights does not apply only to left-wing governments. Double standard who does that. It applies to all governments and that is our position.”
This is not the first time that the president of Colombia has spoken on issues of internal politics in Peru. This position has been taken repeatedly, especially after the coup d’état carried out by his ideological affiliation Pedro Castillo.
