English/Español: Rubio: The U.S. Faces a Colombia Unknown to Us
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued a statement following Gustavo Petro’s victory in Sunday’s presidential election in Colombia.
“The people of Colombia have spoken,” Rubio said. “However narrow the victory, the United States now faces a Colombia unfamiliar to us — one to be led by a far-left, former M-19 guerilla member with an openly hostile approach towards the United States and our nations’ joint efforts as well as our interests in securing and promoting a prosperous Western Hemisphere.
“Sunday’s election results pose a tremendous concern for Florida’s Colombian-American community, who are watching closely as their beloved homeland falls prey to a Marxist leader,” Rubio continued. “The United States must remain vigilant that Colombia’s institutions, its rule of law, and freedom of the press are not undermined.”

Washington, D.C. — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió un comunicado tras la victoria de Gustavo Petro en las elecciones presidenciales de Colombia el pasado domingo.
“El pueblo de Colombia ha hablado”, Rubio dijo. “Por estrecha que haya sido la victoria, EE.UU. ahora se enfrenta a una Colombia que no conocemos, una que será dirigida por alguien de la extrema izquierda, un ex-guerrillero miembro del M-19 con un enfoque abiertamente hostil hacia los esfuerzos conjuntos de Estados Unidos así como hacia nuestros intereses en promover un hemisferio más próspero.
“Los resultados de las elecciones del domingo plantean una gran preocupación para la comunidad colombo-americana de Florida, que ven de cerca cómo su amada patria cae presa a manos de un líder marxista”, Rubio continuó. “EE.UU. debe permanecer atento a que las instituciones de Colombia, su estado de derecho y la libertad de prensa no sean socavadas”.
