Petro asks Senate permission to leave the countryThe former President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, has formally requested permission from the Senate to leave the country through a letter addressed to the Senate's General Secretary. He stated that he intends to fulfill political, social, academic, and economic commitments abroad over the next 12 months. This request follows a similar move by former President Andrés Pastrana, who had previously asked the Senate to block Petro’s departure. The requirement for such permission is outlined in Article 193 of the Colombian Constitution, which imposes a one-year restriction on former presidents leaving the country. The Senate is expected to vote on the request during its next session. A recent precedent was set by Virgilio Barco, who sought permission to travel abroad after his presidency ended. Petro is still on the U.S. 'Clinton List' due to sanctions imposed by Donald Trump, which restricts his ability to make international transactions, including purchasing air tickets, using personal accounts.
