Colombia's first leftist leader, President Gustavo Petro, claims the investigation into his 2022 campaign finances is a politically motivated effort to unseat him from power.
Petro dismissed the investigation on social media, stating, 'The coup has begun,' indicating his belief that this inquiry is an attempt to destabilize his presidency.
The majority vote from the National Electoral Council to launch an investigation into Petro's campaign underscores tensions in Colombian politics, highlighting the scrutiny faced by his administration.
While the investigation could lead to fines, the possibility of impeachment for Petro remains unlikely, as no Colombian president has been removed from office by Congress in 30 years.
