After the most recent statement by the former Colombian ambassador to Venezuela, Armando Benedetti, in which he acknowledged on Monday, June 5, that he issued statements against the national government in what would be a state of intoxication, the President of the Republic, Gustavo Petro, referred to to what was said by the former diplomat.

The Colombian president once again referred to a “soft coup” against his management, 10 months after taking power, and highlighted, without mentioning it, how the former candidate for the presidency Federico “Fico” Gutiérrez, filed before the Commission of House of Representatives charges a request to have his campaign finances investigated.

“Our political rivals have rushed to file complaints against me in the Accusations Commission. However, in no interview or audio has it been shown that I have committed a crime. This is a simple soft coup attempt to stop the fight against impunity, ”the president posted on his Twitter account.

In this way, the head of state referred to what was stated by Benedetti, who turned on the “fan” with his statements to Semana magazine, after the same medium revealed the content of a series of audios in which he attacked the former head of the Cabinet of the Presidency Laura Sarabia,

“I have been a fundamental part of the current political project of President Petro. However, not satisfied with what corresponded to me politically, in an act of weakness and sadness I let myself be carried away by anger and drink, ”said the former official in his profile, @AABenedetti.

Despite the strong qualifications against the ruler, who even insinuated with his statements that he would have some kind of addiction, it seems that both Petro and Benedetti have established a “non-aggression pact” on social networks. The trills emitted by one and the other on Monday night could not be analyzed otherwise.
