President Gustavo Petro, as well as some of his relatives and the Minister of the Interior, Armando Benedetti, were included in the Clinton list, as announced this Friday by the United States government through a statement shared on the official page of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
However, it was striking that the one who had not appeared on the social network X after the strong decision of the Donald Trump government against President Petro and some of his relatives, was the former presidential candidate Gustavo Bolívar.
However, Bolívar reappeared on the social network X this Saturday, October 25, where he shared a long and nostalgic message.
To begin with, the former candidate for the Historic Pact said that, although politics has brought some unpleasant things into his life, he regretted nothing.
“Politics has left me nothing but debts, dangers, confinement, stigmatization, slander, estrangement from people I have loved, a fractured family, lawsuits and accusations, unrest, persecution, surveillance and wiretapping by the Duque government and worse. But if you ask me if I am sorry, I tell you no... Showing a decent path in such a rotten activity, denouncing and exercising social control over corrupt officials and drug traffickers, fighting against so much injustice and serving the poorest people in my country, makes me feel very proud of who I am and what I have done," said Bolívar in his message in X.
“I was not born to live comfortably while the world falls apart. I can die without a peso in my pocket, but I will do so smiling for having tried. Some will value the struggles we have fought and will continue them until politics in our country is done with truth and transparency, until corruption is no longer a culture, until people’s rights are respected and those same people stop defending those who steal from them or sell them those rights. I don’t regret anything. Doing the right thing makes me free and happy. No matter what happens, there is a God who sees everything and who knows who is lying, who is telling the truth, what each one of us has done and what we deserve ,” the former presidential candidate concluded on X.
