Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Ukraine, Palestine & Why Latin America Rejects Western Hypocrisy

Colombian President Gustavo Petro joins Democracy Now for an exclusive broadcast interview after his address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, where he spoke of the need to end wars and stop the climate crisis. Petro is the first leftist to ever govern Colombia. He was elected in 2022 after campaigning to fight inequality and poverty, increase taxes on the wealthy, expand social programs, restore peace and end Colombia’s dependence on fossil fuels. He is a former M-19 guerrilla who went on to become the mayor of Bogotá and a senator before rising to the presidency. 

Rights Action (U.S. & Canada)
Work and struggle in unjust, unequal global order

Since 1995, Rights Action funds land and environment, justice, human rights and democracy defense struggles, community development and projects in Guatemala and Honduras, and provides emergency relief funds (hurricanes, victims of repression, Covid19, etc.).

Rights Action works to hold accountable the U.S. and Canadian governments, multi-national companies, investors and banks (World Bank, etc.) that help cause and profit from exploitation and poverty, repression and human rights violations, environmental harms, corruption and impunity in Honduras and Guatemala. Rights Action chips away at work and struggle to transform our profoundly unjust and unequal local-to-global economic and political order.
