“Beyond my personal preferences and political affinities that you know, we have a duty to have a state relationship. We are going to respect the decision of the Colombian people,” Boric stressed.
Boric’s affinity with the Historic Pact candidate, Gustavo Petro, is well known and was widely represented with the presence of the Colombian at the inauguration of the Chilean president on March 11.
Unlike other leaders in the region, such as the Mexican Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador or the Honduran Xiomara Castro among others, who have preferred not to attend the summit due to their disagreement with the veto that has been imposed on Nicaragua, Venezuela and Cuba, Boric has chosen to attend but has regretted that the host, in this case the United States, has made this decision to one-sided way.
“When you have a multilateral summit, and you decide to exclude it by decision of the host without consulting the rest, That is an error“, President Boric has valued, who has been more in favor of having made the corresponding criticisms and reproaches to these countries “in person”.
“When (Human Rights) are violated in Venezuela, Israel, Chile, or Colombia, it hurts me in the same way, but I prefer to tell them in person,” he said.
On June 19, Colombians have a new appointment with the polls to elect who will be their new president for the next four years. The left represented by Gustavo Petro, winner in the first batch and until now always at the forefront of the polls, will face the extreme right Rodolfo Hernandezwho against all odds became the second most voted proposal on May 29.
