Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) and Gustavo Petro, presidents of Mexico and Colombia, respectively, are lthe kings of farce. With bulletproof cynicism, they defend the coup leader Pedro Castillo, now in prison for that crime, with false arguments and stories.

AMLO maintains that the Chotano he was irregularly detained and his dismissal is a revenge of the Peruvian ‘elites’ who did not want him to govern for the ‘people’; and Petro affirms that Castle They knocked him down, among other reasons, “because he is from the mountains, because he is poor.”
Nothing more false than that. Castle He was vacated for being a coup leader and has more than a dozen investigations for corruption.
The position of AMLO and Petro It is not surprising, then, in addition to professing the same leftist ideology as Castleall three, in one way or another, are linked to corruption, drug trafficking and terrorism.
The family of Lopez Obrador, for example, it is involved in cases of bribery and blackmail. Her cousin Felipa Obrador received close to 19 million dollars in contracts with the Pemex oil company. His brother Pio Lopez Obrador was filmed receiving thousands of dollars during the 2015 election campaign.
The company of one of his close collaborators, named Manuel Bartlett, was discovered, in the midst of the COVID pandemic, selling fans for those infected at prices above the market. A recent report from the Council of the Americas determined that the Mexican government’s fight against corruption has worsened and fell two more positions in the fight against that scourge.
DRUG TRAFFICKING
As in Peru, drug trafficking is rampant more profusely in the upper echelons of the government of AMLO. Drug cartels face gunfire almost daily and more than 130 journalists have been killed. The deaths of the press men have remained in the most absolute impunity.
Gustavo Petro, for his part, he also has a dark past in his youth related to the breakdown of the democratic order. Petro He was an important leader of the April 19 Movement (M19), a guerrilla group that sowed violence and committed kidnappings in the 1980s in Colombia.
Many have forgotten that, in November 1985, the M19 committed a bloody attack that shocked the world. A group of his terrorists assaulted the Colombian Palace of Justice. He took 350 people hostage, including magistrates, employees, litigants, lawyers and visitors. In the recovery, more than a hundred people died!
Although the leaders of the M19 They have repeatedly denied it, behind that bloody takeover was the then powerful drug trafficker Pablo Escobar, the head of the Medellín Cartel, who tried to threaten justice to prevent the approval of a law that would allow his extradition to the United States. There are even movies of that on Netflix.
These are the background of AMLO and Petro, the main defenders of the coup leader Pedro Castillo, What do you think? See you the other Tuesday.
