On Tuesday, August 11, the Senate of Colombia authorized former President Gustavo Petro to travel outside the country for the year following the end of his mandate, utilizing a power established under article 196 of the Constitution.
The Senate's decision sparked political controversy and discussion. A spokesperson for President Abelardo de la Espriella strongly criticized the authorization, claiming that Petro intends to flee the country.
Despite the criticism, the authorization drew an unexpected expression of support from former President Álvaro Uribe. In response, Petro expressed gratitude for Uribe's backing, stating that no one should be subjected to state-imposed restrictions on movement.
