Petro Defies Washington and Tel Aviv: Outgoing Colombian President Exposes Zionist Election Rigging and Declares 'No to Blockades' from Havana

Gustavo Petro condemns the Israeli cyber-warfare firm BlackCore for orchestrating a massive digital coup in Colombia's elections, while reaffirming Caribbean sovereignty and solidarity with Cuba again

HAVANA/BOGOTA — In a powerful final stand against imperialist aggression and foreign subversion, outgoing Colombian President Gustavo Petro has forcefully condemned both US hegemony in the Caribbean and Zionist interference in Colombia’s democratic processes.

Choosing the resilient capital of Cuba for his final foreign trip before leaving office, Petro stood in unwavering solidarity with the island nation, explicitly rejecting war and the suffocating US economic blockade. Reaffirming Latin America as a zone of peace, he sent a clear message to Washington that the Caribbean will not be subjected to imperialist militarisation or neocolonial dictates.

Simultaneously, Petro has blown the whistle on a sophisticated Zionist plot to hijack Colombia’s political future. The outgoing president accused the Israeli cyber-intelligence firm “BlackCore” of executing a massive digital attack and disinformation campaign against his government and his leftist ally, presidential candidate Ivan Cepeda.

According to Petro, the Zionist regime’s cyber-warfare outfit deployed an estimated half a million automated bots to manipulate public opinion and rig the vote in favour of hard-right, pro-US factions. Denouncing this blatant violation of national sovereignty, Petro declared the election results completely “illegitimate” and demanded a full, transparent recount of all ballots amid nationwide protests.

The urgency of Petro’s warnings is underscored by the incoming hard-right government’s agenda. The president-elect is already preparing to dismantle Colombia’s sovereign foreign policy, signalling plans to restore ties with the Zionist entity, relocate the embassy to occupied al-Quds, and abandon Colombia’s vital support for the genocide case against the Zionist regime at the International Court of Justice.

By exposing BlackCore’s digital sabotage from the heart of the Caribbean, Petro has laid bare the coordinated efforts of Washington and Tel Aviv to reclaim their grip on the Global South. His dual rebuke serves as a rallying cry for progressive nations and the Axis of Resistance alike: Latin American sovereignty will not be surrendered to the algorithms of occupiers and the blockades of empire.
