Isabel Zuleta assures that Petro is still the president and scolds those who call him ex-president. I don't admit it

Senator Isabel Cristina Zuleta, a prominent figure within the Petro movement, sparked controversy after a video surfaced where she reprimanded individuals from the Magdalena region for referring to President Gustavo Petro as 'ex-president.' In the video, Zuleta insisted that Petro remains the president of Colombia and criticized those who label him otherwise, stating that doing so undermines his legacy. She reiterated her belief that there was election fraud in favor of Abelardo De La Espriella, despite evidence showing no such fraud occurred. Zuleta also made remarks distinguishing between two 'presidents', one representing the poor (Petro) and another for the wealthy (De La Espriella), and discussed topics like land occupation and water rights. The video went viral on social media, but Zuleta has not publicly addressed the controversy.

Bias read (Progressive): The article focuses on Senator Isabel Zuleta, a prominent member of the Petro movement, which aligns with leftist politics in Colombia. Her statements defending Gustavo Petro’s presidency and criticizing the labeling of him as 'ex-president' reflect a clear ideological stance aligned with the left.
