He did so on the Uribe website Los Irreverentes, which considers that if the elections to elect the next president were today the senator “would have great options to win victory”.
Faced with this approach, De la Espriella agreed and said that Petro’s political strength cannot be “ignored or underestimated” and recalled that in 2018 he obtained more than 8 million votes from Colombians, whom he tried to dismiss:
“A good part of his followers do not act in a democratic spirit, but rather as gang members who can easily be compared to Hitler’s ‘brown shirts’, who in the 30s of the last century broke windows, beat their opponents fiercely and published defamatory pamphlets. against its antagonists ”.
Furthermore, in his opinion, since he lost the elections, the leader of Colombia Humana has been “setting fire” to the country and “promoting hatred.”
De la Espriella took up the banner of socialism to attack Petro, who was even made even more popular by the references Donald Trump has made in his re-election campaign for the US presidency, and said that if the senator wins the next elections, he will implement a “policy of expropriations”; added:
“If Petro wins in 2022, he will stay in power for decades, ignoring the rules of democracy. We Colombians cannot pave the way for our country to remain in the hands of a communist dictator ”.
And in the same vein he said that Petro “will shatter the rule of law and implement an even more aggressive model that destroyed Venezuela”, thus reviving the discourse used by allies and followers of Uribe in the last elections.
The jurist also indicated that he does not “like” the candidates who have been outlined from the Democratic Center to compete with Petro, among which are Senator Paloma Valencia and Defense Minister Carlos Holmes Trujillo, and brought to the conversation the famous Uribe’s phrase, who upon regaining his freedom issued a warning: “Watch out for 22.”
