Colombian President Gustavo Petro stated this Sunday that mayors from his country who are planning to travel to Washington today with the apparent objective of helping to maintain the country’s annual certification in the fight against drugs are committing a crime by attempting to supplant his functions. Petro expressed his concern over the mayors’ trip, accusing them of unlawful behavior and trying to undermine his authority. He emphasized that such actions violate the law and should not be condoned.
