VOICED : Alcalde de Bogota: destitucion afecta dia

Gustavo Petro, the mayor of Bogotá, was dismissed and politically suspended for 15 years due to alleged misconduct in waste management reforms. This decision, made by the Procuraduría, has sparked controversy and is seen as a threat to the peace negotiations with FARC. Petro argues that his dismissal violates the Colombian Constitution, which states that only the President can remove a mayor for specific legal reasons. Public protests have erupted in support of Petro, with a large mobilization planned, including indigenous groups and representatives from other regions.
