The president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, said that the measure violates international law and norms of diplomatic immunity. He also said that he doesn’t care about the measure and that he will not see Donald duck again
The United States Department of State announced last Friday, September 26 that he withdrew the visa to the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, to urge American soldiers “to disobey orders and incite violence” during an act in New York, at the UN Summit.
“This morning, the Colombian president, Gustavo Petro, addressed American soldiers in a New York street by urging them to disobey orders and incite violence,” says a message from the State Department in the Social Network X.
“For these reckless and provocative actions, we will revoke Petro’s visa,” adds the brief message.
The president of Colombia, who has already returned to his country, said that the measure violates international law and the norms of diplomatic immunity.
Petro, in an act called on Friday in New York against the Israeli campaign in Gaza, asked American soldiers to disobey mandates from their government in order to allow a future “salvation army to operate multinational” that would support the Palestinian people and whose creation, he said, that would propose to the United Nations Assembly, where he pronounced a speech yesterday.
«(That army) has to be bigger than that of the US. That is why from here, from New York I ask all US army soldiers to disobey Trump’s order. I ask you not to point against humanity their rifles, ”Petro cried during the demonstration.
Upon learning that he ran out of Visa, Gustavo Petro wrote in his X account that does not “care” because he is not only a Colombian citizen, but is also European and “I actually consider myself a free person in the world.”
He also recalled that for the presidents who attend the United Nations Assembly and its General Assembly “there is total immunity” and said that the US government “cannot condition the opinion of the US.” In the same way, he said that the United Nations headquarters cannot continue in New York.
“I will not see Donald duck again, for now, that’s,” wrote the Colombian president in another post of X.
I arrived in Bogotá and I find that I no longer have a visa. To go to Ibagué to the great Tolimense convection for democracy I do not need a visa.
Separating the US from Colombia is what mafias need.
