Colombian President Gustavo Petro predicted that “billions of people will defy armies” to migrate to the United States and other Western democracies, which he has previously likened to Nazi Germany.
“Billions of people will defy armies and will change the earth to do this,” Petro told the United Nations General Assembly. “The exodus across the borders has increased. They have set the dogs and the hounds on the immigrants. They have put people on horses to pursue them with whips in their hands, with stocks and chains. They have built prisons.”

That overview of attempted restrictions on migration seemed to refer to the border security measures of countries across “the north,” including the United States and the United Kingdom. Petro, who is just more than a year into his term as Colombia’s first leftist president, stopped short of repeating his most incendiary rhetoric from his address in the same forum last year, but he nonetheless renewed his accusation of white supremacy.
"Prisons have even been built at sea so that these women and men cannot tread the Earth of the white people, who still believe themselves to be the superior race,” he said Tuesday. “[They] are nostalgic for this, and through their choices and elections they revive the leader who said so and who killed millions as a result.”
The implication of the barb was stated more explicitly last year when he claimed that Western border security policies display “the mentality of those who created the policies of the gas chambers and the concentration camps.”

This year’s address was comparatively restrained, but still underscored his distaste for “the hurricane of capitalism” that characterizes Western societies, which he blames for “the mother of all crises,” as he termed climate change.
“If the mega-crisis of life is to be resolved, it will be through a democracy which achieves a global scale, a deeper democracy, which will not fear interlinking states and societies and planning for the great Marshall Plan of the revitalization of the planet,” Petro said.
