Colombia president to host music event in support of Palestine
Bogota (Quds News Network) – Colombian President Gustavo Petro is organizing a musical event soon in an expression of solidarity with the Palestinian people in light of the devastating and genocidal aggression carried out by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip.
Taking to X, Petro urged those wishing to utilize art as a means to critique the ongoing genocide against the Palestinians to join him at Plaza de Bolívar or Simón Bolívar Park in Bogotá for a significant concert against genocide and in support of life.
Sharing a video featuring Puerto Rican artist Rene Perez Juglar, widely known as “Residente,” Petro emphasized the importance of addressing the plight of Palestine through artistic expression. The Colombian president specifically called for an end to the massacres inflicted upon the Palestinian people by the occupying army since October 7.
Last month, the renowned rapper Residente characterized the situation in Gaza as a horrific genocide and disclosed the postponement of his album release in solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
