Global Leftist Leaders Sound Alarm on "Soft Coup" in Colombia

A group of more than 400 leftist leaders from around the world, including former presidents and opposition party heads, have warned that a "soft coup" is underway in Colombia, accusing the country's opposition of illegally working to remove President Gustavo Petro and his allies from power. The opposition is using the offices of inspector general and attorney to target Petro and his allies, which could lead to their expulsion from Parliament or even the removal of Petro. The group calls on allies of democracy to stand up against these insidious tactics and prevent the advance of a soft coup in Colombia.
