🔥All of this.🔥

Looks like the speech of #Petro at the #UN was 100% spot on.

“Genocide must be stopped with what follows diplomacy … [We must] form an armed force to defend the lives of the Palestinian people. A powerful army is needed from countries that do not accept #genocide. That is why I invite the nations of the world and their peoples … Words are no longer enough: it is time for the sword, for Bolívar’s freedom or death, because they are not just going to bomb #Gaza, not just the #Caribbean, as they are already doing, but humanity itself".

"The #US government wants to harm thousands of peasants; [the US government] is influenced by Colombian mafia politicians. Hundreds of thousands of peasants have been massacred, just as children are being massacred in Gaza. The massacres in #Colombia were carried out by politicians, senators, presidents, and ministers who were linked to and bribed by the Colombian drug mafia, allied at the same time with the extreme right in #Florida, and now allied with the Trump administration.”"

"Another issue #Petro addressed was #climate change. He said that the world has 10 years to make urgent changes before it reaches a point of no return. He proposed an energy transformation based on renewable energies to abandon fossil fuels. In this regard, he stated that #LatinAmerica and #Africa have a fundamental role to play in sustaining this change, and that the #UnitedStates and #Europe could benefit from this change for their own #survival."
