petro gustavo generated an uncomfortable meeting between the presidential candidate president and General Eduardo Enrique Zapateiro (commander of the Army), on social media. Petro wrote a post on social media stating that certain (generally-ranking) officers "are on Clan's payroll."


"While the soldiers from the Gulf Clan are being killed, some of their generals are on the Clan’s payroll." They end up ascending to generals." https://www.bluradio.com/noticias/gustavo-petro , an internet user has stated that the heads of drug trafficking are corrupted.

General Zapateiro's response

The Army commander reacted to this message and in six rounds, questioned the presidential candidate.

An officer of the highest rank spoke out about the deaths of soldiers in recent times. "Since https://www.asuntoslegales.com.co/gustavo-petro , more than 500 military personnel have been killed and suffered injuries during the course of their mission. The sacrifice was unnoticed and there were no announcements. It's quite interesting that the loss of heroes is now a source of affliction and used for other signs.

The army commander asked Gustavo Petro that if he has information on the links of generals with groups outside the law, make the complaint to the authorities.

"Senator, do not use your investiture (parliamentary inviolability) to pretend to politicize the deaths of our soldiers, rather perform your civic duty by submitting a an substantiated complaint to

@FiscaliaCol you have mentioned the facts the facts you mentioned, regardless of who"" the general indicated.

The senator continued with a final note: "I recall that as senator, you're part of the group that you are able to identify as 'drug-trafficking politicians'. As citizens, it's important that you don't generalize. First and foremost, respect"

The most controversial comment from the official in charge was the fact that Colombians saw the current presidential candidate receive cash "in garbage bags".

" https://www.eluniversal.com.co/temas/-/meta/gustavo-petro have not seen a general receiving ill-gotten cash on TV." General Zapateiro stated that Colombians were well-versed in the custom of receiving money in garbage bags.

In closing petro gustavo , he wrote "to the oldest and most prestigious organization in this country, which members, both men and women, have steadfastly for the cause of democracy and this nation for over two centuries, even sacrificing their lives, I ask you respect."
