Coup d'État in Colombia?
In Colombia, there is a political chaos like I have never witnessed in my 29 years of life
In Colombia, there is a political chaos like I have never witnessed in my 29 years of life. Everyone knows that the president of Colombia is useless. People think that I hate or attack him because he is from the left, but that's not true. He is just incompetent, having used the poor to gain power. All presidents are like that, but this one is worse than all because he worsened the insecurity, took office, and now the son was imprisoned due to the ongoing investigation for receiving money from drug traffickers for his father's presidential campaign, and the response was: "I didn't raise him, that's the truth.". That had never happened in the history of Colombia.
That loser is Petro's son.
Recently, there was another scandal because both the president of the Senate and the president of the Chamber received 3.000 millones de pesos (approximately 700,000 dollars) to approve the pension and health reforms proposed by President Petro. This was done with people from his government.
Today, it became official that charges have been filed against the president for exceeding and not declaring funds that financed his presidential campaign, which could lead to the loss of his presidential status.
To this, the loser Petro has called it an attempted coup d'état, haha, it’s unbelievable. His son is in jail for receiving drug trafficking money for his presidential campaign, and he calls it political persecution and a coup d'état.
Right now, it's a complete disaster because he is playing the victim and calling on people to start a revolution because they want to remove him from power. But let’s remember his son is in jail, his brother accuses him of vote-buying. He faces charges for exceeding presidential campaign spending limits, and now officials from his government have admitted to trying to bribe the presidents of the Senate and the House of Representatives to pass his political reforms.
Recently, the Constitutional Court struck down the Ministry of Equality that he created. This ministry will only last until 2026 because its creation did not take into account the nation's fiscal procedures. In other words, they created a ministry out of nothing to pay political favors and hire people arbitrarily without considering the state budget.
It has all been disrespectful.
In my opinion, it is not advisable to stage a coup d'état because that incompetent would complain and cry for the rest of his life. It's better to let him continue to falter as he has been. We need to let more scandals emerge, which will continue to appear until he hands over power in 2026.
However, as always, everything in this life is unexpected. If he continues to become violent and says he would like to remain in power, a coup d'état to uphold the institutions of Colombia from such a disgrace of a President is inevitable.
I find it strange that many expats support Petro. They call themselves capitalists and depend on Colombia's misery to continue living well with their dollars. I understand them because I also earn in dollars, but Petro ruins foreign investment, puts many obstacles to hiring. Everything has fallen, exports, the economy, and unemployment has increased.
Many companies have gone bankrupt, and although it is convenient that the dollar conversion remains high, it is not suitable for what Colombians earning in pesos are going through. The free market generates opportunities for everyone. If everyone makes money, the peso conversion doesn't matter, and that's what people should think about.
For now, the president spends his time giving speeches saying that if the people want, he will remain in power. He has become increasingly extremist.
As always, I will tell the truth about what happens, I will give my opinion on everything. The day it is not worth living in Colombia, I will say it. For now, I believe the institutions are strong and I don't think he will remain in power, but one never knows. That's why if you want to discuss many things about Colombia, you can schedule your call.
If you have any questions and want to know whether it's worth living in Colombia or not, you can schedule your call. I have time this week and can take it.
