The communist president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, has once again found himself at the center of controversy after posting, drugged and delirious, an extensive and confusing message on his X account in which he mixed allegations of foreign interference in the elections, personal issues, and a concerning statement about the possibility of taking up arms.
In the text, Petro claimed that the president of the United States, Donald Trump, “could not win in Colombia” and asserted that the result was manipulated. “We tied with lies, because without the tricks, progressivism won,” he wrote, without providing concrete evidence to support that accusation.
Throughout the message, the president insisted on the existence of a supposed foreign interference in the electoral process, even pointing to international actors.

“The worst trick is foreign interference because it is prohibited by the constitution of Colombia,” he stated, while mentioning Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he accused of having “enormous computational powers that control every second.”
However, the most alarming part of the message was when Petro explicitly raised the possibility of an armed uprising in response to the fabricated situation he denounces. “I could legitimately take up arms and take a part of the army and call it liberator,” he wrote, in a phrase that raised concerns due to its tone and content.
Although he immediately tried to moderate that statement, the president himself highlighted the seriousness of what was said. “I do not want to bleed my country dry, enough blood has already been shed and I swore not to take up arms again,” he added, in what seemed an attempt to justify or soften the previous threat.
The message from Gustavo Petro
The message also included a series of disconnected passages from the political axis, with literary, personal, and even introspective references.
Petro spoke of his intention to learn English, mentioned William Shakespeare, Walt Whitman, and Ernest Hemingway, and made striking statements about himself: “I sometimes feel military and I am clandestine and I know about the clandestinities of becoming invisible like the jaguar.”
In another section, the president insisted that foreign sectors would have financed attacks against him: “Foreign mixed funds in dollars and contributions from genocides and narco-terrorists from Colombia to destroy the person of the current president of Colombia (…) is a proven foreign interference.”
Finally, he again linked his allegations with a potential invalidation of the electoral process and the idea of rebellion. “The decisive foreign interference (…) is a cause, by far, to annul the elections (…) and is a cause of rebellion and of taking up arms as I did when I was young,” he concluded.
The message generated controversy due to its delirious content, the lack of evidence for the accusations, and especially for the explicit mention of the possibility of an armed uprising.
