El presidente de Colombia, Gustavo Petro, quedó envuelto en otra polémica discursiva. Esta vez, sus dichos sobre Jesús y sus conclusiones en torno a la presunta vida sexual de la figura central del cristianismo le valieron el rechazo de distintos sectores de la Iglesia de su país, que calificaron a sus palabras como una falta de respeto y una tergiversación de “la verdad histórica, bíblica y teológica”.

Entre otras cuestiones, el líder colombiano aseguró que “Jesús hizo el amor, a lo mejor con María Magdalena”. Según su opinión, un hombre con las características que le atribuyen al “hijo de Dios”, en la vida real, “no podría existir sin amor”.

“Y la mujer lo apoyó hasta el último momento, y él no murió como Bolívar, murió rodeado de las mujeres que lo amaban. Y eran muchas”, afirmó el funcionario, quien se asume “católico, pero no practicante” y gobierna un país en el que el 79% de los 50 millones de colombianos se consideran católicos y un 10% profesan otras ramas del cristianismo.

Las expresiones de Petro, que se escucharon durante la reapertura del Hospital San Juan de Dios, en Bogotá, generaron un fuerte repudio de las autoridades eclesiásticas del país, tanto del catolicismo como por parte de las iglesias evangélicas. El motivo central tiene que ver con que, de acuerdo con la doctrina cristiana, Jesús llevó adelante una vida célibe.

En este sentido, la Conferencia Episcopal de Colombia emitió un comunicado en el que señaló que “ningún funcionario ni otra persona está llamado a emitir conceptos de orden teológico sobre las convicciones religiosas o doctrinales de los ciudadanos y, al contrario, el Poder Público tiene la obligación de proteger a las personas en sus creencias y mantener relaciones armónicas y de común entendimiento con las confesiones religiosas”.

El texto, además, dejó en claro que para la comunidad cristiana el nombre de Jesús es “santo y su persona reviste no solo la importancia del personaje histórico, sino que reclama el respeto y la adoración con la que se trata al Dios Verdadero”.

En el mismo sentido, la Confederación Evangélica colombiana difundió un escrito en el que consideró que las afirmaciones del presidente «tergiversan la verdad histórica, bíblica y teológica» y «constituyen una falta de respeto» hacia Jesús.

El discurso de Petro en el centro de salud no fue polémico sólo en el plano religioso. En otro tramo del mismo mensaje sostuvo que hace «cosas muy buenas en la cama» y también habló de sus supuestas habilidades para «conquistar a las mujeres».

En este caso, aludió a esa temática en referencia posibles temas de conversación con su par estadounidense, Donald Trump

«No me interesa qué hizo el señor Trump en la cama. Ni le preguntaré. Ni a ningún periodista chismoso le debe interesar qué hago yo en la cama. Hago cosas muy buenas y pienso. Y nadie se olvidará de mí porque seré inolvidable ahí», dijo el mandatario.

De la misma manera, dijo que «el poder no se puede meter en la cama íntima porque muere la libertad en el mundo inmediatamente». «Automáticamente nos convertimos en esclavos y esclavas y conmigo no se hará, así se mueran de la curiosidad de qué hago, pero no les cuento. Pienso. Creo que genero mis mejores ideas. Por eso, mis trinos más famosos se hacen cuando no duermo”, aseveró.

En otro controvertido fragmento, el mandatario se refirió al robo de celulares y planteó una hipótesis que tampoco fue bien recibida. Afirmó que el robo de celulares en la capital colombiana se produce «por amor». “Son los mayores rateros de Colombia, no ese muchacho que se roba un celular; lo hace por la novia, siempre por amor, y se pueden tirar la vida”, manifestó.

En la teoría que expuso el presidente, «no se roban los celulares para venderlos o comprar drogas; los jóvenes bogotanos se roban los celulares en el centro para dárselos a las novias”.

Después, cuestionó que a los bebés los llamen Bryant o Kevin porque son nombres «de otra civilización”, e hizo extrañas apreciaciones sobre el embarazo adolescente.

“Se tiran a las muchachas porque las dejan embarazadas de jóvenes y se pisan (…) Los árabes sabían de eso, no puedes tener más mujeres que las que puedan vivir en condiciones económicas”, elucubró.

Hunter Biden said it is irrelevant that he suddenly «ghosted» his 7-year-old daughter, whom he shares with ex-stripper Lunden Robert, arguing in a new legal filing that he was never legally obligated to have a relationship with her.

His lawyer made the statement Tuesday in response to Roberts reopening a 2019 paternity suit in Arkansas, alleging that the 55-year-old former first son did not honor the obligations he agreed to in 2023 and should be held in contempt of court, as well as increase child support payments.

In a motion filed on Jan. 13, Roberts claimed that Biden’s indifference caused their daughter, Navy Joan Roberts, «emotional trauma,» and that he failed to deliver the artwork he had promised, which reportedly lost significant value after his father left office. 

Biden’s legal team moved to dismiss the motion and all of Roberts’ demands, first arguing that the child’s feelings and relationship with Biden are «immaterial» since the court never required personal communication.

HUNTER BIDEN ACCUSED OF GHOSTING DAUGHTER WITH LUNDEN ROBERTS AND VIOLATING CHILD SUPPORT AGREEMENT

«Specifically, the averments regarding the Child’s emotional state, her relationship with Defendant, and their communications and bonding … are not relevant to contempt or modification of child support,» his lawyer Davis Langdon said. 

The son of former President Joe Biden has five children, including three from ex-wife Kathleen Buhle and one with his current wife, Melissa Cohen.

Roberts previously noted that the child and Biden had shared a brief period of bonding, speaking several times during a series of scheduled calls until «suddenly and without warning or explanation, Mr. Biden ghosted (Navy),» and caused Navy to experience «emotional trauma,» according to the motion. 

«This has caused issues for (Navy), who recently experienced emotional trauma at a family member’s wedding when she realized that her dad would not walk her down the aisle or dance with her at her own wedding reception,» she said.

Biden, a self-taught painter whose works have been valued in the six-figure range while his father was in office, also stated that no specific legal timeline was established for delivering his artwork.

«Even if no paintings had been given to the Child to date, such would not violate the Order, because as long as thirty paintings are assigned to the Child by Defendant will have complied with the Order,» Langdon wrote. 

Biden’s lawyer added that Navy will be able to choose the paintings she wants by a specific, though undisclosed, deadline.

He added that he does not need to provide additional child support Robert is further seeking, despite her citing his recently improved «lavish lifestyle» and the disparity between Navy’s life and that of his other children, because she has not proven that his financial situation has in fact changed.

During the 2023 settlement, Roberts consented to reducing monthly child support payments from $20,000 to $5,000, according to the New York Post. The agreement also provided for some of the payments to be made with Biden’s paintings.

Biden’s legal team further added that Robert’s allegations over the years were all made «merely for the purpose of embarrassing Defendant and making a national spectacle of Defendant’s personal life.» 

The European Union (EU) moved Thursday to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a terrorist organization, and Germany pledged to make the decision legally binding as soon as possible.

The move also came alongside a new round of EU sanctions targeting Iranian officials and entities amid the violent crackdown on protests and mass killings that have swept across the country since Dec. 28.

Tehran’s military support for Russia was also included in the measures.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen welcomed the designation and the sanctions package Thursday.

«I welcome the political agreement on new sanctions against the murderous Iranian regime,» von der Leyen wrote in a post on X. «And on the designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization. This was long overdue.

«‘Terrorist’ is indeed how you call a regime that crushes its own people’s protests in blood. Europe stands with the people of Iran in their brave fight for freedom.»

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said the EU would move quickly to implement the designation, calling it a strong political signal that reflected the scale of repression inside Iran.

«The next step will be the rapid implementation towards a legally binding listing,» Wadephul warned, adding that the EU stood «side by side with the Iranian people» against repression.

Wadephul accused the IRGC and its auxiliary forces of meeting protesters with extreme violence, carrying out executions and having a destabilizing role across the Middle East.

As of Thursday, the Human Rights Activists News Agency reported 6,373 confirmed fatalities, with an additional 17,091 deaths under review.

The organization also cited continued communication restrictions, limited internet restoration and ongoing economic and social fallout, saying arrests and security pressure had entered what it described as a «post-crackdown phase.»

According to Reuters, EU foreign ministers also approved new human rights sanctions targeting Iranian «individuals and entities» linked to the suppression of protests.

Those sanctioned include Iran’s interior minister, senior IRGC commanders, police chiefs, judges from revolutionary courts and cyber officials involved in censorship and surveillance.

Some will also be sanctioned for «providing support» to Russia, Reuters noted.

The U.S. designated the IRGC a Foreign Terrorist Organization in April 2019. Canada followed in June 2024. Bahrain and Saudi Arabia have also designated the IRGC a terrorist group.

Advocacy group United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) welcomed the EU’s move and urged swift implementation, calling on the U.K. to follow suit.

«UANI applauds the EU for announcing its intention to designate the IRGC, the Islamic Republic’s ideological army, as the terrorists that they are,» the group said in a statement.

«We now urge the United Kingdom to proscribe the IRGC, following the lead of the EU, the United States, Canada, and Australia. The IRGC must be denied the ability to operate with impunity abroad.»

Reacting to the news, Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, criticized the EU’s designation.

«The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is one of the strongest and most effective anti-terrorism forces in the world; only those who stand on the side of the terrorists themselves could deny the IRGC’s record in the fight against ISIS terrorism,» he said in a post on X.
