Colombia: Petro was accused by the Attorney General's Office of favoring the Gulf Clan and paramilitaries
Francisco Barbosa accused the president of "putting targets in the foreheads" of prosecutorial officials and wanting to "free drug traffickers and heirs of the paramilitaries of the Gulf Clan."
Barbosa's harsh words come that Petro had publicly accused Prosecutor Daniel Hernández. "If anything happens to the family of Prosecutor Hernández, or the prosecutor himself, or to his youngest son, who is the object of special protection, Petro will be responsible for the death of these people," said Barbosa, who also reminded Petro that paramilitaries in the La Rochela massacre murdered Prosecutor Hernández's father.
