Gustavo Petro has been the subject of conversation in recent days thanks to his proposal for “social forgiveness”, used in the context of his brother, Juan Fernando,'s visit to former congressman Iván Moreno to La Picota prison in Bogotá.
Social networks were soon divided by what is represented by the fact that someone so close to Petro was visiting a prisoner for corruption. On the one hand, they supported the position of the progressive leader, and, on the other, they condemned his words with strong arguments, trending the issue mainly on Twitter.

Federico had posted, on Friday night, a tweet in which he said that he “never committed a crime, another did”. Although the message was not addressed to anyone in particular, Petro decided this Saturday to respond to those words with a retweet in which he wrote: “The candidate of the 'Accused'”.
So far the candidate of the Team for Colombia has not spoken. Petro's words would allegedly have to do with the ratification of the Constitutional Court as the accused of former President Álvaro Uribe Vélez for alleged procedural fraud and bribery of witnesses.
At different times, it has been expressed from different parts that the former mayor of Medellín would be the candidate of Uribism, statements that the same candidate has repeatedly come out to deny.
