María Elvira Salazar warned that Petro has the same intentions in Colombia “as Chavez in Venezuela and Fidel in Cuba”

In a new wave of criticism against the presidential candidate of the Historical Pact, Gustavo Petro Urrego, the representative of the United States House, Maria Elvira Salazar, again threw vehement questions and predicted for Colombia a supposed grim picture if today's senator of Human Colombia comes to power.

Through a video posted on her official Twitter account, the fellow Cuban-born journalist accused the Colombian politician of having “ties with terrorists in Latin America” and confronted him with her past approaches with Bernie Sanders, one of the figures on the gringo left.

Salazar, who has made himself known in Colombia for his closeness to the Florida-based compatriots, and who has repeatedly lashed out at Gustavo Petro, wondered in his publication “what could anyone offer with such friends?” and immediately delivered the answer: “Misery, destruction and, in the end, exile,” he said.

In the video published by the congresswoman of the United States, the presidential candidate responds to W Radio, where he talks about his ties with Sanders, which Maria Elvira Salazar didn't like at all.

It is worth remembering that Salazar makes these accusations because, as he comes from the Castro regime in Cuba, he believes that if Petro wins the presidential elections in his country, he will impose a dictatorship such as the one that plagues the nation that saw the birth of today's US parliamentary controversy.

“I spoke to Bernie Sanders personally,” Petro said in that radio dialogue, a reply that for Salazar is a clear indication that “what Sanders wants is Marxism for Latin America and the Marxist system for the United States,” the Cuban criticized, adding:

“Bernie Sanders himself said so. That Fidel Castro, who has been the great satan of this hemisphere, transformed the lives of Cubans. Yes, of course. It's true that he transformed her. In turning them into rags,” added the republican congressman, while recalling several of the effects that the Castro family has brought to the Cuban nation since they have been in power.

In other parts of her Twitter attack, María Elvira Salazar urged Colombians to “take a good look and hear well” about who they will choose to direct the country's destinies in the period 2022-2026 and to avoid repeating, supposedly, the political models of Cuba and Venezuela.

Finally, he reiterated to the Colombian people to be “very careful”: Those are siren songs. The only intentions that Petro has are those that Chavez had in Venezuela and Fidel in Cuba. Destroy the country for their benefit, because they are in the business of power. Not to give benefits to peoples”, he concluded.

This is not the first time that María Elvira Salazar has launched herself against whoever is leading the voting intentions for the Colombian Presidency, at the end of 2021 she assured that Gustavo Petro “is a thief, a socialist, a Marxist, a terrorist and is leading the polls of the Colombian Presidency”.
