Same in Seattle, Washington State, horrible left-wing elitist extremists. They have destroyed the State..
More courage than Americans that should be out in the streets..
Situation like Greece before. After Columbia , next is Argentina
Petro was elected by a pseudo left coalition Pacto Historico.Make no mistake Petro is a supporter of capitalism ,military, and the right wing.
Hyperinflation?
More than a Million People in Colombia, Take To The Streets To Protest President Gustavo Petro. Colombia doesn't like you Petro.
I, as many Colombians, are tired of the woke and degrowth policies of Petro. Since he came to power taxes have gone up, gas prices have skyrocketed by government decree, bureaucracy has grown exponentially, corruption is rife, and austerity measures have been imposed in the name of "climate change". His only aim is to empoverish the Middle Class and inciting the poor against it, in order to impose his ideological agenda.
