The menu of topics for many foreign journalists come to the Book Fair in Bogotá grows. Let’s start with the hottest, the unnecessary Madrazo improvised by President Petro against the president of the Senate, “head of the Legislative Power.” In Spain they are not insulted or enter with a hat and in quasicalzoncillos to the sessions. That guachadas is ours and Bolivia.
That encounter has been the trail of the Spanish visitors because they say: “Honor, you are trampling my honor, I would like to remind your Holy Mother, but the protocol and the good ways prevent me.” There they, but are terrified with the cannon released by President Petro saying calmly by TV: “Senator Efraín Cepeda is an enemy of my government, I do not usually say rudeness, but I do tell him … Sooo HP.” And the “that” is the president of the Senate. Juan Míguez told me yesterday: “Neither Felipe González, nor Zapatero or Pedro Sánchez committed such a demential bad pifia.”
The gossip knows it by heart, they know that Petro, an hour later, in another rally he was more front saying: “Yes, there are many HP (ax) criticizing my government, I would like to ignore them but I am front.” Spot.
Foreigners journalists listened to President Antenoche on television. As they are formal, they recommended a tie, they looked a lot at the president’s facial surgeries and they seemed very human, they asked me the surgeon’s name because these interventions are very expensive. Spot.
The colleagues from Buenos Aires and Mexico saw the trial of former president Uribe on TV and, they seemed to them Rocambolesco. Juan Francisco Amat, a Catalan non -antispañol, told me: “It is a cheap that pseudojion with the phones punctured to the former president for 30 days; walk, the accuser against Mr. Uribe, that uncle named Monsalve, is a vulgar and unpresentable uncle here and in Albacete.”
But not only political confrontations have seen the 260 journalists, with me and with Lulita Arango they went to Maluma’s musical concert, Pipe Peláez, Carlos Vives, Bacillos & Cía. They enjoyed it, but the burning of gunpowder frightened them there. Bogotá is strong in concerts, people are and paying, not like the unions that imported 15,000 indigenous people for their party. Here I finish. Inter and Barcelona play, I go for the Italians and I love the Italian food that my partner prepares me.
