The president of Colombia is accused of drug abuse
Rumors that Colombian President Gustavo Petro uses cocaine have been circulating for a long time, but now accusations are coming from a more serious source.
Former Foreign Minister Alvaro Leyvo writes in an open letter about a state visit to France in 2023 where Petro disappeared for two days.
"It was in Paris that I was able to confirm that you have a problem with drug addiction," Leyvo writes according to AFP.
President Petro has responded on social media, stating that he had better things to do in Paris than spend time with his foreign minister.
Leyvo writes that he spent the two days with his daughter and grandchildren who live in the city and that he is "addicted to love."
New records for cocaine in Colombia - fewer interventions
The new allegations of alleged drug abuse by Colombian President Gustavo Petro come as cocaine is once again on the rise in the Latin American country.
Under Petro's leadership, Colombia's cocaine production has reached new records and efforts to combat cultivation have been reduced.
Petro has repeatedly downplayed the dangers of cocaine and has said that whiskey "kills more" people.
