BOGOTA, Colombia

Colombia on Friday “strongly condemned” Argentine President Javier Milei's remarks that referred to President Gustavo Petro as a "Communist killer sinking Colombia."

"The deep friendship, understanding, and cooperation historically uniting Colombia and Argentina have been violated, and therefore, we have immediately recalled Ambassador Camilo Romero to the country for consultations,” said the Foreign Ministry.

“We strongly condemn Argentine President Javier Milei's disrespectful and irresponsible statements towards President Gustavo Petro," it added.

Milei, in an interview with journalist Patricia Janiot, responded to a question about Petro: "A Communist killer sinking Colombia."

Gustavo Bolivar, a member of the ruling Historical Pact coalition and former senator, expressed support for Petro on X. “Petro has never been a communist and has never killed anyone,” he wrote.

Even though Washington/US corportions/Wall Street have always supported Latin American fascists, they are deadly for the people of the Americas, hence the protests, revolutions, etc. If only more people would take the time to pay attention.
