Dore and Hinkle on the newly elected leftist President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro:- funded by George Soros- ushering in "woke ideology"- Petro's right wing rival, Rodolfo Hernández, was a populist, and "real lefty"- Petro is "faux-lefty", propped up by identity politics. pic.twitter.com/1wF1xjdPqd— Venerable Jorge 🇺🇦 (@Nitzky89) June 21, 2022
seriously watch the clip i feel like im losing my mind
it’s also a fact that Petro fought in support of Rojas Pinilla
Petro joined M-19 in 1978, a left wing paramilitary group, years after Pinilla had already died in 1975 and been out of power for decades (was president 1953-1957). M-19 formed after 1970 when Pinilla and his party the National Popular Alliance/ ANAPO (left-wing party) lost the election (they claimed fraud) to the right wing candidate. You're also misrepresenting Pinilla's rule imo, and its funny you bring up the communist party when it and literally all left wing parties in Colombia are all part of Pacto Historico that Gustavo ran with.
E: actually reading through your posts youre way misrepresenting Rodolfo and its concerning people are just upvoting this distortion. Rodolfo was endorsed by all the right wing candidates and parties, and his party LIGA is just a typical populist party that has some socially liberal stances and typical neoliberal economic policies. The guy has been indicted on multiple criminal charges of corruption while he was mayor and has said some seriously heinous shit, its weird you're going to bat for the guy.
I believe that Hernandez was "Independent", but was socially pretty conservative it seems? Said he didn't believe women should be in politics, praised Hitler, things that really are unacceptable. Idk what the hell Jackson Hinkle is talking about though
Hernández backs the fight against corruption, once admitted to being a “follower” of Adolf Hitler (which he swiftly claimed was a slip of the tongue, stating he meant Albert Einstein), says that women should remain at home and that when he assumes office, he has said he will decree what is known in Colombia as a state of internal commotion, which is essentially a state of emergency or exception
Rodolfo is like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He is one person campaigning and another when in administration. He is a voluble and erratic man,” she says. Morales’ voice is well-known in Colombia after an audio tape in which the former mayor is heard shouting at her and threatening to fire her was leaked. “I wipe my ass with the law,” Hernández is heard saying.
The engineer, as he likes to be called, has come under scrutiny for handing out checks among the city’s poorest inhabitants and for promising to build 20,000 houses if he was elected mayor. His commitment was to provide low-income families with a housing option and to build them with good designs because, as he likes to say, “the poor deserve the best,” but it didn’t quite work out like that. The same thing happened years earlier, with another project for the “poor,” which didn’t exactly deliver what Hernández had promised. The beneficiaries were given the option to but the houses because Hernández’s company, HG, facilitated loans to do so, but the buildings were only half-finished, completed on the outside but with exposed bricks and unfinished floors inside.
Loaning to the poorest to buy houses which they built, so brave
, even as he flies the flag for anti-corruption, Hernández stands accused of illegally awarding a waste management contract in El Carrasco. But that is only a drop in the ocean of a wider scandal known as Vitalogic, which involves his son and the payment of a seven-figure commission
The two had met to discuss a local matter, but when Claro had the temerity to mention his son’s legal issues, which will go o a trial on July 21, Hernández flew into a rage and hit him. Hernández’s own cameras recorded the whole incident
Not impulsive as well
Aside from the fact he is a multimillionaire in colombia, I don’t know what else to say that he is full of shit and similar to trump in rhetoric

Are you claiming that a guy who ran for president with a female vice-president believes that there should be no female politicians?
I edited my reply to you, basically saying that even if he had some cool policies it doesn't outweigh the support for working with the US to stage coups and shit out of Colombia. We'll see what Petro does but let's hope he does the right thing and supports Venezuela and Bolivia
Well, it seems like he's been misrepresented? I saw that he was a business owner and heard he said good things about Hitler, is this not a right wing guy then? What's the deal here
Edit: I saw your edit. I think support for a military dictator and cooperation with the US would probably be extremely devastating for the region. Even if he had some cool policies wrt green energy and stuff, don't think that outweighs the terrible shit that the US does wrt to Brazil, Bolivia, and Venezuela
Edit2 wow I misread this guy's edit who says Petra fought for a right wing military dictator? Huh?? I thought he was a leftist guerilla what the hell is going on

Yeah Petro was like 15 when Pinilla died and had been long out of power not sure what that commenter is thinking of.
What did Petro offer then? Dope seeing the conservative party in a country have fairly lefty ideas.

On gender issues, he’s proposing 50% quotas for women in public service and in his cabinet. On the environment, he plans to give welfare payments to those that maintain forested areas rather than cutting them down. Clean energy is a recurring theme, although there are also plans for 14,000 km of new roads.
