The president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, called for consultation with his ambassador to Argentina, Camilo Romero, after the president of that country, Javier Milei, referred to the Colombian head of state as “a murderous communist who is sinking” the country.
In this regard, the Colombian Foreign Ministry, through its account on the social network X, published a statement in which it “presents its strongest protest”.
In a series of messages, he stressed that “the Minister of Foreign Affairs presents his strongest protest against the disrespectful and irresponsible statements made by the President of the Argentine Republic, Javier Milei, against President Gustavo Petro”.
“The Government of Colombia strongly rejects this statement, which undermines the honor of the president, who has been democratically and legitimately elected,” he said.
He believes that “President Milei's words ignore and violate the deep bonds of friendship, understanding and cooperation that have historically united Colombia and Argentina, and that have been strengthened over two centuries.”
“As a result of the circumstances created by the words of the president of Argentina, the Government of Colombia immediately calls for consultation with Ambassador Camilo Romero, representative of Colombia in that country,” he said.
