Panorama General. The president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, faces criticism on social networks after posting a message on X (formerly Twitter) about the democratic crisis in Guatemala. This statement has generated negative reactions due to accusations against his own government and his family regarding drug trafficking and corruption.
Petro commented on the democratic situation in Guatemala, linking it to drug trafficking and corruption. His message is perceived as ironic, given the accusations that he and his family face in Colombia for alleged links to drug trafficking. The president’s son, Nicolás Petro, will be tried for illicit enrichment and money laundering. X users criticized Petro for what they consider a double standard in his comments.
Background. Gustavo Petro has been the subject of controversy since his election, facing accusations of ties to drug trafficking and now 64% disapproval among Colombians.
Petro’s statements about Guatemala contrast with the negative perception of his government in Colombia. The legal case against her son adds a personal and political dimension to the accusations. The comments on X reflect widespread discontent and questions about Petro’s management and ethics.

Stop asking for things in the name of Colombia!!!!! That if we Colombians want this, that we demand the other!!!! Things as they are, ask for them in your name because you or your ideals do not represent us to a large majority of Colombians.
