Yet another classic case study of how practical socialism and democracy are completely irreconcilable.
@
It Was Fraud by TRUMP & Marco Rubio influenced 😡
@
Monroe doctrine had Abelardo De La Espriella as the chosen fascist president for the new Israel of South America, there was fraud, everywhere, they did not win fair and square, they have always controlled the narrative
@
How ironic. The old Colombian president is trying to pull a Trump (election rigged without evidence) on the pro-Trump candidate.

“Trump backed” and “claims of election fraud to cling to power” in the same sentence is hilarious 😂 It’s literally Trump’s playbook.
@
Communist/left wingers version of “democracy”:
I win: this is democracy!
My rival wins: rigged elections! Dictatorship! I will not recognize you!
@
HE PROVIDED EVIDENCE!

Excuse me? I do not know in which Colombia this analyst lives, but her account is terribly incomplete and even wrong I would say. Whereas Petro has not produced a single proof to back his accusations, he has explicitly said in X that the elected president of Colombia is Ivan Cepeda. That is not what she said during the interview. The real winner, Abelardo de la Espriella, decided to stop the on-going transition meetings between the two administrations given the refusal from Petro’s government to acknowledge the results. It was a rational measure given this extraordinary situation. However, it is not as bad as it sounds, 75% of all the information needed by the incoming government has been already obtained, thanks to a mandatory request for information made to each and every governmental agency, ministry and any other similar entity.
@
It is not true that Petro didn't provide evidence. He does have evidence of fraud, and he even listed it in his EX's posts. Oh, DW being DW, always leaning right. Serving Israel's agenda much?
@
No delays just the outgoing President rambling nonsense without any proof.Sore loser
@
I voted against de la espriella and am sad he won, but he won fair and square. Unless petro can show actual proof (he won’t), he should make the transition as smooth as he so as to not further hurt Colombia.
@
DW’s media outlets have been supporting these far-leftist presidents with dictatorial tendencies in Latin America and in various parts of the world; now, these “progressive democratic leaders” are revealing their true colors as anti-democratic authoritarians. Something tells me that the elites of the Global North are using Marxist ideology and supporting leftists goberments as a tool to keep these developing countries mired in misery and poverty, so that they cannot compete with their capitalist interests...
@
The transitions going through for the previous president didn't recognize him so he's throwing a tantrum? When Trump didn't recognize Biden's victory you didn't see them get all emotional but when it's one of their owns that's the only time you have to respect their authority 😂😂
@
He hasn't even taken over yet and he already started behaving like a clown. Just like Trump.

Petro is sounding a lot like Trump now!
@
The left always think they know better than the people. The people have spoken. The drug lord Petro does not want to go. But he will be arrested and handed over in New York for drug trafficking, murder, smuggling, and terrorism. Watch this space😅😅😅

The Columbian Trump sounds exactly like the criminal Trump
@
The whole world is leaving the Israeli/ USA train and Colombians are catching it in the very last second lol

Colombian 🇨🇴 with not political side here.
This discussion can be summarised with the (socialist) actual president can and have the right to say “I don’t recognise”, but the election has NOT any evidence of fraud and therefore the new president will take place as it should be in August.

It’s just a bad loser trying to make highlight every where he can, and based on this video, it’s working.

The Internet hates democracy
@
Everytime the right wins elections it's systemic accusations of frauds or financement malpractice, with courts eager to take it on. It only goes one way.
@
Please, present the news correctly.
@
Columbia is annualy certified to accept US aid as a democracy.
@
Embarrasing enough that that person has sworn allegiance to the US over Colombia and he was allowed to run, and all his ties to drug dealers and the paramilitary and now he does not want to conduct the transition.

Only in Colombia could a person who swears allegiance to other State over his own be head of State. A historic shame and it will be met with full resistance, if the worst happens.
