“The incoherence of President Gustavo Petro has no limits: it orders to stop oil exploration in Colombia, practically bankrupting our economy, but yesterday it announced that Ecopetrol will invest in extracting oil from Venezuela. What is the President playing? What he wants is to help perpetuate Maduro at the expense of Colombians who are paying more for gasoline every day,” said the senator.
