Gustavo Petro defended the right to protest and stated that it should not be limited when the mobilizations were directed against the wealthy. He affirmed that this right belonged to the masses and the people as a constituent power, and said that the protests gathered millions of people, not hundreds. Regarding truck drivers, he pointed out that the protest referred to the labor rights of drivers—including eight-hour workdays, benefits, insurance, and pensions—and not just to the transit of goods. He also said that small truckers should be protected and accused large companies of money laundering of preventing the arrival of the electric train. Petro maintained that the mobilized people could command the public force in exercise of their constituent power and that no established institution was above this. Furthermore, he claimed that there was fraud in the past presidential, legislative, and local elections, attributing a 95% statistical probability to experts. He said that justice must compare the E14 forms with the votes deposited in the bags by table and verify the identities of jurors and voters. Finally, he urged the people to reclaim what he described as their sword and to save Colombia's democratic institutions. #Protesta #DerechosHumanos #PuebloUnido (translated)
