8/4/2023
Last Friday, April 7, one of the most important days of Holy Week, President Gustavo Petro was in the capital of the department of Bolívar, in a private meeting without the presence of the media.
The meeting that took place in the Casa del Marqués, located in the Historic Center, It was attended by the Republican Senator of the United States William Hagerty, where he shared a typical lunch from the region with the president.
According to the national government, these meetings contribute to maintaining the bipartisan agenda of the current administration. It must be remembered that last February, Gustavo Petro also spoke with 18 North American congressmen, where the main topic was anti-drug policies.
On the other hand, the senators who visited La Heroica, Hagerty and Cardin, although they are from opposite parties, for some time have participated in different subcommittees in the US Senate that have to do directly with international relations.
Petro’s visits to Cartagena
Just a week ago, the national president was in La Heroica, receiving recognition from a higher education institution.
The Head of State received from the directives of the Council of Rectors of the State University System, Caribbean Chapter, the recognition as Doctor Honoris Causa.
According to that advice, for his “invaluable contributions to Colombia in public management, especially in Bogotá, when he was mayor of the country’s capital.”
For almost a week, the city was inundated with garbage.
it transpired that the granting of an Honoris Causa Doctorate to the Head of State was approved unanimously, in a regular session of the Council of Rectors of the Council of Rectors of the State University System, Caribbean chapter, which was held last January 21, 2023.
“This honorary title has double value, since it will be conferred on Petro Urrego by the public university as a whole, with a presence in the Caribbean region, his homeland,” said Jairo Torres Oviedo, president of the Council of Rectors of the State University System, Caribbean chapter .
“The Doctorate Honoris Causa is the highest honorary recognition that the university grants to notorious personalities who have executed significant tributes in a specific field and who have served the community in an outstanding way,” said the Council of Rectors of the State University System, Caribbean chapter.
That same week, President Petro stood up former President Juan Manuel Santos in Cartagena at the so-called peace summit.
The explanation of the Casa de Nariño was that the president was in a meeting with the Minister of Defense, Iván Velásquez, evaluating the crisis of public order after the massacre of nine soldiers by the ELN in Catatumbo.
In addition, the presidential plane was placed at the service of affected passengers in San Andrés by Ultra Air.
Petro did not see himself face to face with Santos, who, despite having supported him to reach the Presidency, now throws stones at him and promotes, under the table, a rebellion by the ex-FARC that signed the agreement of La Havana.
So much so that Timochenko already stated that he felt more secure in the Duque Government. As they say, Petro is more of a friend of Uribe than of Santos.
