Last Wednesday, the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, denounced the country's former vice-president Germán Vargas Lleras and the former attorney general, Néstor Humberto Martínez, for being complicit in the coup against him.

“This strategy was explicitly proposed by Néstor Humberto Martínez (...) and Germán Vargas Lleras. We are facing a coup d'etat based on false evidence,” said the president in his X account.

The Colombian president subscribed that the National Electoral Council of Colombia “does not have the competence to demand that he leave (his presidential functions)”, however, clarifies the president, there has been room for them to formulate “charges in an unconstitutional manner”.
