> Colombian President Gustavo Petro has responded defiantly to the United States’ decision to revoke his visa, stating that he "doesn’t care" and criticizing Washington for its violation of international law over his stance on the war in Gaza.
“I no longer have a visa to travel to the United States. I don’t care. I don’t need a visa … because I’m not only a Colombian citizen but a European citizen, and I truly consider myself a free person in the world,” Petro said on social media on Saturday.
In a separate post, the Colombian president denounced "Israel's" crimes in Gaza by stating, "Humanity is against genocide, and in Colombia, there was a genocide against the people when fascist conservatives ordered the liberals to be defeated by blood and fire, and the genocide continued afterward, allied with drug trafficking."
