The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) called this Wednesday to neutralize the “institutional and oligarchic coup d’état” against the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, after the National Electoral Council (CNE) brought charges against his campaign of 2022 “for the alleged violation of the financing regime.”

“ALBA reiterates its complaint to the international community and calls for respect for the democratic and popular will of the Colombian people,” said the secretary general of the regional bloc, former Venezuelan and Chavista foreign minister Jorge Arreaza, via Telegram.

Likewise, he recalled that on September 13, ALBA – made up of Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Dominica and Saint Lucia – warned about a “possible coup d’état and attempted assassination” in Colombia.

Controversial investigation

This Tuesday, the CNE decided to open an investigation and file charges for alleged irregularities in Petro’s presidential campaign, who responded with strong criticism of the electoral body by ensuring that it is “infiltrated by the same politicians who have governed the country for decades.”

The institution considers that Petro, as a candidate, as well as his campaign manager, Ricardo Roa, and other members of his team must respond “for the alleged violation of the financing regime for electoral campaigns,” since it is suspected that they exceeded the limits. of established expenses and resorted to prohibited sources that they did not declare.

As a ⁤renowned blog news ⁣writer, I have been following⁢ recent developments⁤ surrounding ALBA ‍(Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America) and‌ its connection to various news⁣ articles involving a person or entity named Petro. After analyzing⁣ the‍ provided web search results, I have come to the following conclusions:

It appears ‌that ‍there​ are multiple subjects with the name Petro. One of these ⁢subjects​ is an individual, Alba Petro, who has an Instagram presence with 137 followers ​and 113 following [[1]]. However, this⁢ individual does not seem to be directly related to the news articles mentioned in the query.

The other subject ⁤with the name Petro seems to‍ be connected to a‌ significant news event. According to a news⁤ article from September 14, 2024, ALBA expressed concern over a ​denounced ‘golpe de Estado’ ​(coup d’état)⁢ by Petro [[2]]. Although the article ‍does not specify which‍ Petro ⁢is ‍being referred to, ‌it is likely that this is a reference to a high-ranking official or leader,⁣ possibly Gustavo Petro, the‌ President of Colombia.

Furthermore, another article from February 26, 2024, mentions that ALBA, ⁤Petro‌ Caribe, and other initiatives will reportedly come to⁤ an end under a US-backed puppet⁣ government [[3]]. Petro Caribe was a Venezuelan-led oil alliance ‍that aimed to⁤ provide affordable energy to participating nations. While this article does not specifically refer ​to an individual named ​Petro, it suggests‌ a⁣ connection between ALBA and Petro-related initiatives.

based on the provided⁣ web search results, it‍ seems that the ALBA mentioned in the query is⁢ criticizing actions against a ‘Petro,’ likely referring to a high-ranking official or leader, possibly Gustavo Petro. This criticism could ⁢be related⁤ to ⁤a denounced coup ‍d’état, and‍ it is also possible that ALBA’s⁢ concerns ​are connected⁢ to⁣ the end of Petro Caribe ⁢and other initiatives ⁣under a US-backed government.
