Asocapitales respaldó a Carlos Fernando Galán luego de que Gustavo Petro lo señalara de “cómplice de un genocidio”

The Colombian Association of Capital Cities (Asocapitales) has issued a formal statement of support for Bogotá Mayor Carlos Fernando Galán. This action follows public remarks made by President Gustavo Petro, who accused the mayor of being a "complicit party to a genocide."

The association rejected the president's characterization of the mayor, signaling a deepening tension between the national executive branch and local leadership. The conflict highlights ongoing political friction regarding the administration of the capital and the rhetoric employed in public discourse between government officials.
