What President Gustavo Petro initially denounced as alleged harassment coordinated and directed against his daughter Antonella Petro, ended up becoming a kind of trend among soccer fans in the country to protest against his government.

This is the now recognized chant of “Petro out!”, which Colombian fans are chanting from the stands of different sporting venues. That voice of protest against the head of state has already been heard in four soccer matches, two for World Cup qualifiers and two for the national team.
Before this meeting, the chant “Petro out!” It had been heard at the Metropolitano stadium, in the match between Colombia and Brazil, then at the Atanasio, in the classic between Medellín and Atlético Nacional, and at the Defensores del Chaco stadium, in the match between the Paraguay and Colombian national teams.

They sing against Petro in the National and Millonarios final.
The fourth time it was chanted was in the final between ‘purslanes’ and ‘ambassadors’ this Thursday. Before the two clubs entered the field of play and when the reception of the locals was prepared, the voice of protest against the president arose in the stands.
“Just before the teams left, ‘Petro out’ began to be heard, and it became louder and louder until it was heard in 90% of the stadium. That chant against the president lasted about 45 seconds and then was the reception of the Atlético Nacional fans,” an attendee at the game told this newspaper.
That voice of protest that seems to have become common in soccer games, since it has been presented four times in just one week, was recorded in amateur videos in which fans appear singing in the Atanasio Girardot stands.
Furthermore, the moment in which a group of fans who were interviewed on the live broadcast of the Win Sports channel also mentioned “Petro out” in front of the microphones did not go unnoticed, which sparked laughter among the presenters of that channel.
Petro says he would win the elections again
This Thursday the president released a survey contracted by the Casa de Nariño, paid for with public resources, with which he assured that his positive image predominates among citizens and if the elections were held again at this time he would emerge victorious again.
This measurement contracted by the Presidency showed that 51.7% of the 1,608 citizens surveyed have a positive image of the president, in contrast to 44.5% who have a negative image of him. Furthermore, 3.8% of the people who were surveyed responded that they do not know or do not respond.
Along these lines, the head of state assured that the measurements that show that citizens disapprove of his management want to show that his government is unpopular and pointed out that “they even take away football from the people” in reference to the songs that were chanted in his against in the different stadiums.
