In the midst of the discussion, a tweet by Miguel Polo Polo has sparked rejection and indignation. The representative of the Afro communities in Congress stated that Petro, like Hamas, uses minors as a shield. This statement was supported by the opposition figure. pointing out that the head of state used his daughter ‘as a shield for popular contempt’.
“Petro is the same as HAMAS: the second uses children as a shield in the war against Israel and the first (Petro) uses his daughter as a shield against popular contempt and low approval of his incompetent government.”
The publication of the opposition figure generated several reactions, of which the vast majority were criticism, reproaches and even ridicule. Many highlighted the lack of coherence in the relationship of ideas, while others pointed out to the right-wing politician the great tragedy that has occurred in Palestine in reference to his comments with Hamas.

“Miguel, we all like to go see the national team, it is a plan that goes from children to adults, even you also want to go, and against Brazil, my God, who is not dying to go.

Bolívar defends Petro’s daughter, but they remind him of a dark trill
Gustavo Bolívar has sparked a discussion on social networks after two publications: a recent one about incidents with the daughter of President Gustavo Petro in the Metropolitan Stadium of Barranquilla, and another message from a decade ago where he made an ironic request. The writer and screenwriter condemned the attacks experienced by Antonella Petro, a minor, during a sporting event, comparing them to attitudes that she would reject even the mafia.
In response to the attitude of the fans at the Metropolitan Stadium, Bolívar questioned the opposition for focusing hatred towards a girl. He emphasized that the action suffered by Antonella Petro, 15 years old, transgressed any ethical code, pointing out that only a sector of the stadium participated in the offense, sectors related to corruption according to statements by a congressman. The debate escalated when journalist Vanessa de la Torre reminded Bolívar of an old trill where he incited similar actions against then-president Juan Manuel Santos.
Network users confronted the journalist for comparing both incidents, arguing that in one of them the person affected was a minor. Criticism of de la Torre included questions about the loss of impartiality, objectivity and truthfulness in journalism. With Infobae
