  1. Y ya llego el comunismo a colombia

  2. Communism in colombia i never thought i would see the day

  3. the guerrillas had Colombia in dark hopelessness, Uribe fought them until they had to hide in Venezuela and Ecuador, countries that support killing in the name of Communism in those days. Uribe put Colombia into a safer environment but got greedy and wanted to do a 3rd term when his second was not even close to his first term. most of Colombia likes him because of the short lived peace he got. but his minister of defense Mr. Santos after got elected gave in and sat down with the guerrillas and practically gave the country back to hopelessness.
    today we have a self made millionaire with no party affiliation against a communist ex guerrillero who talks a big talk ( for 12 years now) who wants to apply all this socialism from the sao paulo forum and has the mayority of the teachers and students in a hateful mind set towards everyone who don't like Petro. so we Colombians decided for the no politician mind set. Rodolfo Hernández. and we love it.

  4. Eww who the hell vote for a former rebel? Basically a former traitor to the country

  5. A very interesting election for Colombia

  6. Yo soy de Brasil. Aca tubimos lo mismo con Bolsonaro, que és como esto Rodolfo Hernández. Un horror! Las mismas cosas dice, tambien no acepto el debate por miedo, por no tener competencia. Todo lo que sabe hacer és hablar de un comunismo que no ecxiste. COLOMBIA, NO COMENTAN EL MISMO ERROR QUE EN BRASIL. VOTEN POR PETRO!!! PETRO !! E NO ESTO BOLSONARO COLOMBIANO QUE SE LLAMA RODOLFO. VOTEN PETRO!

  7. Petro will kill the Colombian economy socialism doesn't create wealth

  8. It can be said that these cia – backed mafia and rightists led country to economical disaster,narcostate of mafia,war – about 4.7 mln refugees,more than 200000 people were murdered there,total chaos reign. And IT is clear that It must be over and no more rightists should rule there. Enough is enough

  9. The terrible upheaval in 2021 was promoted and backed by Petro and his people. He is threatening to do the same if he doesn't win next Sunday. Today, news from the United States are hitting hard the candidate Hernandez, with a request by congressman Raul Grijalva to the Congress of the United States, for investigation for corruption against candidate Hernandez, who as thousands of Colombian people, has real estate property in Florida. These unfounded accusations are being capitalized by Petro's campaign against Hernandez, whose flag is precisely the fight against corruption. Petro is backed by the presidents of Mexico and Chile, and has close relations with the government of Venezuela and Cuba.
    This is an undue and dangerous interference in the political affairs of Colombia.

  10. Por la vida y por la paz del ciudadano. A lasting change will come, for either good or bad.
