L'ex presidente colombiano Gustavo Petro è stato eletto all'unanimità alla guida del Pacto Histórico, principale formazione della sinistra di opposizione, e ha rilanciato l'ipotesi di uno sciopero nazionale contro il governo del presidente Abelardo de la Espriella. La nomina è stata approvata ieri durante una riunione del coordinamento nazionale provvisorio del movimento.

In un comunicato, il Pacto Histórico ha riferito che Petro ha invitato ad approfondire la protesta sociale, a procedere verso uno sciopero nazionale e a rafforzare il potere costituente del popolo. La formazione ha inoltre annunciato un "Patto per la vita", iniziativa volta a difendere la democrazia, la pace, le libertà e i diritti sociali, nell'ambito di una strategia che combina mobilitazione, rafforzamento elettorale e definizione di un programma politico in vista delle amministrative del 2027.

Anche il senatore ed ex candidato presidenziale Iván Cepeda ha evocato la possibilità di uno sciopero generale se il governo manterrà la propria linea sulle proteste. Le manifestazioni del 14 ottobre, secondo Cepeda, hanno coinvolto cittadini e organizzazioni sociali in un centinaio di città e comuni. De la Espriella ha invece definito i manifestanti una "piccola minoranza" intenzionata a paralizzare il Paese.

Tensions in the Rome ghetto, the Jewish community chases out the ANPI

During the commemoration of the anniversary of the roundup of Jews on 16 October 1943 in the Rome ghetto, the ANPI delegation was removed from the ceremony after insults and shouting from some members of the Jewish community, who had previously asked for the exclusion of the partisan association. The tension arose from previous controversies linked to the participation of the ANPI in the events of April 25 and its alleged condescension towards pro-Palestine streets. Solidarity with the ANPI came from other fighter and political associations, while Mayor Gualtieri participated in the celebration without commenting on the incident.
