La izquierda colombiana inicia su resistencia contra el nuevo presidente: “Abelardo de la Espriella será un agente de Estados Unidos”
El senador y excandidato presidencial Iván Cepeda repite su llamado a la desobediencia civil desde Barranquilla, en un acto alterno a la posesión oficial
Colombian leftists declared resistance this Friday following the end of four years of President Gustavo Petro's rule. Senator and presidential candidate Iván Cepeda proclaimed this during a morning event in Barranquilla, stating that they will "fight to the limit and beyond to preserve the achievements we have made over these years".
"Resistance! Resistance! Resistance!" echoed his supporters. Neither he nor the other congressmen from the Pacto Histórico, Petro's party, will attend the swearing-in of the ultra-right-wing Abelardo de la Espriella in Cali in the afternoon. Cepeda reiterated his disbelief in the legitimacy of the new president, arguing that he has not renounced his US citizenship.
"There is an insurmountable incompatibility with the supreme duty of representing with exclusive loyalty the sovereignty and interests of the Colombian people," he justified on a matter that is not illegal.
