Tensión diplomática: Colombia acusa a Perú de «apropiarse» de una isla en el río Amazonas

Una disputa territorial entre Perú y Colombia en plena Amazonía encendió una nueva chispa de tensión en la región. El presidente colombiano, Gustavo Petro, acusó al Gobierno peruano de haberse “apropiado” de una isla en el río Amazonas que, según él, corresponde a Colombia. Desde Lima, la respuesta fue contundente: “No se ha tocado un milímetro de territorio colombiano”.
La controversia gira en torno a la isla de Santa Rosa, ubicada frente a la ciudad colombiana de Leticia, en la triple frontera amazónica entre Colombia, Perú y Brasil. Allí, desde hace décadas, ondea la bandera peruana y funcionan distintas oficinas estatales peruanas. Pero las declaraciones de Petro reavivaron un viejo reclamo limítrofe que parecía superado por tratados internacionales.
“El Gobierno del Perú ha copado un territorio que es de Colombia”, dijo el mandatario colombiano este martes, al considerar que Lima violó el Protocolo de Río de Janeiro, firmado en 1922 para zanjar las diferencias fronterizas entre ambos países. Según Petro, Perú creó recientemente un nuevo municipio en la zona –Santa Rosa de Loreto– sobre territorio que, a su entender, pertenece a Colombia.
“Han aparecido islas que están al norte de la actual línea más profunda del río Amazonas, y el Gobierno del Perú acaba de apropiárselas por ley y poner la capital de un municipio en un terreno que, por el tratado, debe pertenecer a Colombia”, insistió el presidente colombiano. Incluso advirtió que, si el cauce del río continúa desplazándose hacia el sur, Leticia podría quedar bloqueada por Santa Rosa.
Ante este escenario, Petro anunció que celebrará el próximo jueves en Leticia el aniversario de la Batalla de Boyacá, clave en la independencia colombiana, como una forma de reafirmar la presencia del Estado en la región.
El Gobierno de Perú rechazó “de manera firme y enérgica” las acusaciones. A través de un comunicado de la Cancillería, recordó que la soberanía sobre Santa Rosa está plenamente respaldada por el Tratado de Límites y Libre Navegación Fluvial de 1922, y los trabajos posteriores de demarcación.
“El Perú no va a ceder ni un metro de su territorio, eso ténganlo por seguro. Santa Rosa es peruana, así como Leticia es colombiana”, declaró el canciller peruano Elmer Schialer.

Según Lima, la isla de Santa Rosa es parte del territorio de Chinería, asignado al Perú por la Comisión Mixta Demarcadora de 1929, y se encuentra al oeste del límite internacional definido por el thalweg (la línea más profunda del cauce) del Amazonas.
La creación del nuevo distrito de Santa Rosa de Loreto fue aprobada por unanimidad en el Congreso peruano y publicada en el diario oficial El Peruano. Para las autoridades peruanas, se trata de una reorganización administrativa interna sin afectación a los límites internacionales.
Desde hace más de 50 años, la isla ha sido utilizada por pobladores peruanos, primero para cultivos y luego como asentamiento urbano. Hoy viven allí unas 2.500 personas, y operan oficinas de la Policía Nacional, la Marina, Aduanas y servicios de sanidad.
“Petro quiere llamar la atención”, dijo el alcalde de la provincia peruana de Mariscal Ramón Castilla, Juan Carlos Kahn, quien aseguró que en la zona prevalece la armonía entre comunidades peruanas, colombianas y brasileñas.
También el gobernador regional de Loreto, René Chávez, salió al cruce: “Toda la vida Santa Rosa ha sido habitada por peruanos. El presidente Petro no puede venir a decirnos que hemos invadido territorio colombiano. Santa Rosa ha sido peruana incluso desde antes de 1932”.
Mientras tanto, el alcalde de Leticia, Elquin Uni, relativizó el conflicto y sostuvo que las relaciones entre ambas orillas del Amazonas son pacíficas. “Esperamos que todo se resuelva a través del diálogo entre los gobiernos”, declaró.

NYC mayoral rivals unite against billionaire ‘election interference’ as campaign enters final stretch

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
With two weeks until Election Day, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa have landed on unlikely common ground: rejecting billionaire influence in the New York City mayoral election.
Two billionaires, Red Apple Media CEO John Catsimatidis and hedge fund CEO Bill Ackman, are calling on Sliwa to drop out of the mayoral race in order to clear a pathway to victory for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an Independent candidate.
«The billionaires can conspire to pick their candidate,» Sliwa said during a press conference in Manhattan on Monday. «I trust the people. They will make the decision. I will not drop out.»

Several blocks downtown at his own press conference Monday morning, Mamdani admitted his surprise to agree with Sliwa.
«I never thought I would say this, but here we are, where the only candidates who agree that billionaires shouldn’t control the future of this city are the Republican nominee and the Democratic nominee,» Mamdani said.
Catsimatidis, who is also the CEO of WABC Radio, publicly urged Sliwa to drop out of the race on Monday. Sliwa has long hosted a radio program on WABC but is on leave while he runs for mayor.
«Curtis would make the best mayor of all the candidates … but Curtis has to realize that he should love New York more than anything else,» he said. «It certainly looks like Curtis should pull out right now.»
«I’m not dropping out,» Sliwa reaffirmed to reporters on Monday while responding to Catsimatidis’ plea.

A recent Fox News survey of the mayoral race, conducted Oct. 10–14, asked voters about their second-choice candidate. If both Adams and Sliwa are out, the results show Mamdani keeping a significant lead, even as support for Cuomo increases.
With Sliwa out, the poll found Mamdani would pick up 50% compared to 37% to Cuomo.
Yet, Cuomo on Monday said that when New Yorkers realize that Sliwa dropping out would create a head-to-head matchup with Mamdani, «they’ll discard the spoiler Curtis Sliwa and rally behind Cuomo to save the city.»
When asked who bears responsibility if Mamdani is elected mayor, Sliwa told Fox News Digital on Monday, «We blame Andrew Cuomo.»
«I would suggest to Andrew Cuomo, stop this nonsense. You are the one who is responsible for Zohran Mamdani. You got beaten mightily in a Democratic primary,» Sliwa said when asked about Cuomo calling him a «spoiler.»
Mamdani on Sunday responded to a viral clip of Sliwa reiterating that he will stay in the race, despite pleas from billionaires, like Ackman.
«It’s genuinely positive for our democracy that there’s another candidate in this race who believes NYC voters should pick their next mayor, not billionaires who mostly live somewhere else,» Mamdani said in the post.

Ackman and Catsimatidis are among those billionaires arguing that a vote for Sliwa is a vote for Mamdani.
«Like that Ackman, out in Chappaqua, what does he know about New York City?» Sliwa questioned on Monday, telling reporters that billionaires «have paved the way for Zohran Mamdani because every time they fail, it makes it easier for Zohran Mamdani to campaign.»
«They should stay out of it, focus on Wall Street, hedge funds. They know nothing about the streets, as clearly evidenced by their panic,» Sliwa said, urging billionaires to «let the people decide.»
«Billionaires should be ashamed of themselves for interfering with this election. I call it election interference. Let the people decide. That’s the way I was raised. That’s the way everybody was raised. Nobody was ever told the billionaires were going to pick the person who wins an election.»

Mamdani agreed with his Republican opponent on Monday, arguing that New Yorkers «no matter what they think about our politics, want to make their own decisions, and that is one place where Curtis and I agree, which is that it’s time for New Yorkers to make this decision, not for billionaire donors to decide who gets to run this city.»
«To have a candidate spending all his time pleading with another candidate to get, it shows that he doesn’t have much to share with New Yorkers himself,» Mamdani said of Cuomo.
Fox News Digital reached out to Cuomo for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
