Colombian President Gustavo Petro posted "Heil Hitler" on social media this week, triggering outrage after a newspaper column endorsed conservative presidential candidate Abelardo de la Espriella, who aligns with Donald Trump's policies. Petro's inflammatory response, consisting solely of the Nazi salute phrase, drew swift backlash. The post reflects escalating tensions in Colombia's political landscape as the country prepares for elections, with de la Espriella positioning himself as a law-and-order alternative to Petro's leftist agenda.
