The next notable message came from Nicolás Petro Burgos, the president’s eldest son, who also chose Instagram to address his father. In his post, he highlighted the difficulty of the path they have traveled together, but expressed optimism and determination for the future. This statement did not go unnoticed, especially given the legal problems Nicolás faces that have put both his conduct and the president’s past actions under scrutiny.
“Happy day Dad. The road has been difficult, but we will triumph,” reads the story of Petro Burgos.
The relationship between Gustavo Petro and Nicolás has been public and tumultuous, aggravated by accusations of illegal financing during the 2022 presidential campaign, which led to an investigation by the Attorney General’s Office. In response to these accusations, in 2023, President Petro acknowledged in a message on the extinct guerrilla group M-19.
Family conflicts were exacerbated by the connection between Nicolás Petro and his ex-wife, Day Vásquez, in this case. Andrea Petro openly highlighted her friendship with the Barranquilla woman and publicly stated that she has no relationship with her brother, which sparked speculation about possible divisions within the Petro family.
However, A uniting point was the birth of the president’s first male grandson, Luka Samuel, son of Nicolás Petro. This arrival seemed to soften family tensions, since Gustavo Petro attended the boy’s first communion with his son and daughter-in-law, Laura Ojeda, so they shared an image of family unity despite previous controversies.
Antonella Petro, the president’s youngest daughter, who is 15 years old, also participated in the congratulations through a publication on her Instagram stories. She shared a tender photograph of herself with her father when she was younger, accompanied by a simple message of “Happy Father’s Day” and several hearts.
Nicolás Alcocer Petro, known as “the other Nicolás” and adopted son of the president, was no stranger to the celebrations. Son of the first lady, Verónica Alcocer, he was raised by Petro from an early age and has shown constant support for his father. On this occasion, he shared a Boomerang in his Instagram story in which both toasted with a glass of liquor, accompanied by a message of greeting and congratulations to the president.
“Cheers dad. Happy day to you,” reads the short video shared by the young man.
