Political Analysis of Gustavo Petro's Actions

What is Gustavo Petro looking for with all this? Did he even dare to say over and over

that the president, the one who had won, was Iván Cepeda, Juan Carlos?

Yes, I keep insisting on my position that this is absolutely wrong,

that it is a mistake by the president of the republic. Of course, it is not a political mistake,

it is an institutional mistake for Colombia, what Gustavo Petro is doing is terrible,

but he is focusing his political batteries for the four years to come.

What does he want to do? What is it that he wants to do?

Well, to become the leader of the opposition, Jairo, and to continue waging that opposition from

radicalism. But beyond being the leader of the opposition, but beyond that, Juan Carlos,

of being the leader of the opposition, which is natural, is legitimate for him and for his own

don't you think it indicates something beyond exercising a mere opposition, which is

valid? One can oppose while recognizing the victory of their rival.

That is what would be democratic.

That is not the narrative that Gustavo Petro is going to build in the next four years.

What is the narrative that Gustavo Petro is going to build?

Gustavo Petro needs to build a narrative of injustice,

precisely one in which he can undermine the legitimacy of the incoming government.

That seems obvious to me, no one doubts that for a single minute.

Now, I want to go back to the previous point because the senator touched on so many topics in one go

that it is impossible for me to counter them or in some way argue or complement them

in some of them.

But what she says at the beginning perfectly shows what I wanted

to point out here, which is that Doctor de la Estrella's team did not end up being a transition,

Doctor de la Estrella's team said that what it was going to be was an audit. No

transition is an audit, because just as we must demand that Gustavo Petro respect

the institutions, especially the judicial institutions, which are the ones

that have to determine who was the president of the republic, as was already clearly

established by the competent authority, which is the National Electoral Council, for that

in Colombia there is the Attorney General's Office, the Inspector General's Office, the Comptroller's Office, it is not the transition

the site to report acts of corruption, no other government has done that,

and they could have done it perfectly, because I want to

remind you here of what happened with the OCAD Paz issues during the government of Iván

Castro, there has not been a scandal of that monetary magnitude in the government of Gustavo

Petro, although the scandals in Gustavo Petro's government are unacceptable, for them to say

that in a single institution, in OCAD Paz, six trillion pesos were stolen, I want to

remind you of the 6.5 trillion pesos in inter-administrative contracts that later the Constitutional

Court...

precisely Juan Carlos, that

doesn't give transparency that the

government, that the government that

wants to, that wants to get there,

precisely, look. Jairo. No,

No. To the senator. Oh, Juan

Carlos. Well, Juan Carlos,

conclude. Juan Carlos. We

asked you about that. Let's see.

Excuse me. Conclude. Let's keep

it moving. So, when one has

seen the corruption

scandals, and if you didn't like

me mentioning Duque, well,

then look at Santos, and if

you don't want to, then look at

Uribe, and looking back, you

will see that the possibility of doing

corruption audits in

all governments, there are

as many as you want.
