Using his official X account, he firmly stated, <b>&#8220;I have not ordered the removal of anyone from the presidency. I will personally handle that on August 7, 2026.&#8221; <\/b> This declaration not only reinforces his authority but also serves as a public challenge to those who may wish to displace him from power.<\/p>\n<div class=\"visual__image\"><picture><source  media=\"(min-width: 1000px)\"\/><source  media=\"(min-width: 768px)\"\/><source  media=\"(min-width: 580px)\"\/><source  media=\"(min-width: 350px)\"\/><source  media=\"(min-width: 80px)\"\/><img alt=\"President Petro said\" class=\"global-image\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"low\" height=\"601\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/I-have-not-given-orders-to-the-people-Petro-speaks.png\" width=\"1321\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"article-figcaption-img\">President Petro said that the people or himself would be the ones to deliver power and not in the hands of a plan orchestrated by others &#8211; credit @petrogustavo\/x<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\">As the situation unfolds, political analysts are closely monitoring the responses from various factions within Colombia.
