President Ivan Duque's closing speech during the Asofondos congress in Cartagena did not start as planned and, instead of addressing pensions, he ended up talking about politics and the ways in which. Duque criticized Gustavo Petro for using his seat to attack the army and criticised the fact his dual status as an elected congressman and a candidate.

Duvalier Sanchez interrupted him to inquire regarding his plans after General Eduardo Zapateiro's remarks against Gustavo Petro's.

"Article 219 prohibits military forces from taking sides, engaging in democratic debates or participating in political discussions. The entire nation is upset. This is a crucial moment, that General Zapateiro took part in," Sanchez said as he reached for his phone and posted everything happening on his Facebook account.

The president was caught in the middle of the chaos, the president responded with a forceful defense of Zapateiro and said that if anyone had accusations against public officials, force , they must go to the courts.

Petro's double role today as a congressman, head of the Opposition as well as a Candidate was also criticized further by President Duque.

"Who is making the accusations?" Are they a senator or presidential candidate? " https://www.highlandcountychamber.com/duque-accuses-petro-of-using-his-position-to-threaten-the-army-and-suggests-that-petro-should-quit-his-job/ have resigned from Congress in order to express my views freely and freely as a candidate, and not to use the double hat (...) to gain an opportunity to attack the institution or criticize the institutions, and when they respond, I will present myself as the victim. That's not democracy," the president stated.


Sanchez tried to keep up with the controversy but was stopped by President Obama who demanded that Sanchez comply with the rules.

What was the reason why the battle for Petro and Zapateiro start?

On April 20, Petro published this message on his social media networks. "While the soldiers suffer at the hands of Gulf Clan terrorists, some generals work for the clan." "The corruption in the ranks of the clan's leadership is when drug trafficking politicians end-up ascending to generals," said the presidential candidate.

This Friday Zapateiro answered in the exact same way.
