Several Colombian people, one person from the US and one person from Lebanon spoke in support of Iván Cepeda and Aída Quilcué.
The rally took place at the corner of 82nd Street or “Calle Colombia Way” and 37th Avenue. After the rally, they went to 83rd Street and Roosevelt Avenue, where several people played traditional Colombian music. Several people danced to the rhythm of Bullerengue.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro supports Colombian presidential candidate Iván Cepeda and vice-presidential candidate Aída Quilcué.
The fascist, zionist, right-wing candidate is Abelardo de la Espriella (a U.S. citizen and Colombian citizen). He maintains deep ties to the U.S. He aligns his campaign platform with U.S. interests. U.S. President, war criminal, zionist, corrupt, imperialist Donald Trump endorsed his campaign.
Iván Cepeda and Aída Quilcué are candidates for life, peace, social justice, human rights, the environment, etc.
Abelardo de la Espriella is the candidate of death, war, zionism, and fascism.
“Queens(Nueva York) is mobilizing for Colombia tomorrow in Jackson Heights. Colombia democracy is under threat right now with possibility of electing a Pro-Trump/Zionist Candidate as the next President of the country.
We must not allow Colombia to fall into fascism and be run by any sell out fascist paper tiger. We Colombians want to continue the project of peace and prosperity that has been set out by the government of Gustavo Petro.
Come join and show your solidarity with our cause!!!” said Yhamir Chabur on Instagram before the demonstration.
