This Monday, in his daily program, the head of state surprised him to tune in to know the most recent data on the coronavirus and its impact in the country.
Despite the fact that he did have other interventions related to the health crisis, in social networks it drew the attention of Colombians that in the last 10 minutes Duque gave a space to the Venezuelan opposition leader, whom he helped to clandestinely leave his country.
The president noted that Leopoldo López has been in Colombia for the last few days, since he was even seen at the border, and asked him to speak about the immigration situation.
López pointed out in his speech that “Colombia is an example for the world. The migratory issue is an issue that is in the forefront and the way Colombia and Colombians have treated the way Venezuelans have had to leave the country is an example ”.
However, despite the flattery of López, who fled Venezuela to reunite with his family in Spain, many Colombians did not like his presence in a national television space that was created and destined for another purpose, especially due to the political dye what’s wrong with it.
The criticism became more popular, especially because a few days ago in a forum, Duque came out in defense of this television space reiterating that its sole purpose was to deal with the health emergency and not different situations:
“More than looking for ratings and more than looking for spaces for personal promotion, what we have had there is a vehicle to give Colombians accurate, unequivocal information on how progress is being made in dealing with the pandemic and in a process of economic reactivation ”.

For this reason, in social networks there were some criticisms of citizens, among whom there were also comments from journalists and politicians; some even appealed to sarcasm:
I repeat, in no democracy in the world, private television channels unconditionally deliver one hour a day of their programming for a presidential address. In none, not even with the excuse of the pandemic.

Opposition leader of which regime? Does the Duque government not recognize Guaidó as president? Is Leopoldo López the opponent of the Guaidó regime? Is that La Paz de Santos? pic.twitter.com/WGpHmpVQcj

291 social leaders assassinated in Colombia so far in 2020 and President Duque invites Leopoldo López to his TV program to talk about the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela? What cynicism.

Things as they are and is that the program was to talk about the virus but Duque has already changed course and has dedicated himself to talking about management … it is a boring, authoritarian program that should not be on the air!

The Venezuelan opposition leader, @leopoldopolopez, was invited to the presidential program ‘Prevention y Acción’ to talk about his visit to Colombia and the Colombian-Venezuelan border … Was the program not intended for COVID-19? pic.twitter.com/2crBURlTeI

It is the last straw that the “private” channels lend themselves to 1 hour a day of political propaganda without any right of reply @RCN Channel @TV snail @Citytv @RedMasTv

Duque inviting Leopoldo López to his magazine that is supposed to deal with issues about Covid 19, it’s like when they invite you to watch Netflix at home, which is supposed to be to watch the movie …

Today’s guest on Duque’s program is the renowned epidemiologist and Nobel Prize in medicine Leopoldo Lopez. Big!

So is it a talk show? What does this have to do with “prevention and action” of the pandemic? Duque goes all the way to make fun of the country, he became an interviewer but in addition to not governing, he does these things illegals

How disrespectful that the taxes we all pay are used in this pathetic circus … Even worse that private channels lend themselves to such ridiculousness. @IvanDuque

My deep rejection of the manipulation of opinion … will be that we can demand that this television project ends before the pandemic 😷

And then the little program that is not to talk about the pandemic?

And that Leopold is perhaps the cure against “Castrocovism.”

Now I do start the talk show of the presenter president.
This man got the wrong profession

The program is no longer to prevent covid, and today Duque’s clown brought his first guest. The hero of Venezuela who lives in Europe! 🤡🤡🤡🤡

In the comments, the people also made reference to the fact that recently it was learned that the Presidency of the Republic will allocate more than 6,000 million pesos to create new television spaces to promote the Duque government during the two years that remain in office.
Months before, there had also been talk that the Casa de Nariño was evaluating taking ‘Prevention and Action’ off the air in light of Duque’s poor results in the latest opinion and favorability polls and his low rating.
Precisely, it was learned that the program would end in two months when the health emergency, recently extended until February 2021, also ends.
This was the intervention of Leopoldo López in the program this Monday:
