    Like from what I can gauge as an American 

    He kind of have a smug look oft

    He folded under Trump during that repatriation flight thing, I disapproved him doing that. I mean come on Petro think of how many people you could have inspired by standing up to that orange bastard.

    I know he was a former guerilla which in the farc ravaged Colombia doesn’t really seem that good in my opinion and he was Colombia’s first leftist president which people made a fuss about

    Forgive my crude synopsis, I am not Colombian so I don’t know him well

    He seems to be doing a good work in Colombia, at least from what I can keep up with it here in Brazil.

    He seems to be a big mouth/seems to talk a lot of shit. In this sense, he’s just like 80% of Latin American presidents. Even Lula supporters are embarrassed of the stuff Lula says sometimes, I’ve seen people who voted for Milei expressing the same sentiment. You know, this is the regular “Latam President” experience.

    The more complex discussion is whether he’s better, worse or just more of the same compared to previous Colombian presidents. I don’t think I know enough about Colombian history to answer this.

    Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

    Absolute moron.

    This is the guy who complained about a hospital in Medellin so he posted a photo of one in Venezuela

    The same guy who argued the crime rate would go down in Colombia if we just stopped calling kidnappings and robberies ‘crimes’

    This is the same guy who said that the United States were called that because they united after the civil war.

    The same guy that comes out in live tv visibly drunk and/or on narcotics.

    Next question.

    That dude said he wanted to make again La Gran Colombia, LOL, after decades trying to split, we literally had to sell our soul to the devil to get away from that mistake. El man ‘ta loco.

    I think he’s taking too many drugs, as president of a country he shouldn’t even be drinking much alcohol, much less the other drugs that seem to be making him act erratically.

    He should take some time with therapy and medical help so he can quit his obvious drug habit.

    He is a big mouth moron like all the ex socialists/terrorists we all have in our countries in positions of power.

    I have no idea, I just know that he was portrayed as a very radical figure, on par with Chávez, and he ended up having a more moderate and balanced policy.

    >Should shut tf up, has said things like “Cocaine is just as bad as tobacco, it’s only persecuted because it was used by latinos instead of europeans” and his moral posturing with the US almost caused a deppression in his country

    >Should stop with the positive opinions towards the Venezuelan regime, the Venezuelan regime and its fraudulent elections deserve no compassion nor recognition, specially if you are representing Colombia, a country whose patience is often getting tested by them, being used for illegal activities by both guerrillas and criminal organizations clearly tied to the regimen in Caracas

    Aside from that, your average LatAm politician I guess, don’t have that much of a problem with most of his policies, don’t particularly like them either, I’d guess he is corrupt af, but I’d guess the same of basically every politician in LatAm
