Colombian President Gustavo Petro delivered a speech lasting approximately one hour and 48 minutes during the inauguration of the new Congress on 20 July 2026. Following this speech, in which he defended his administration, his departure from the legislature without listening to the responses of the opposition parties caused political debates.
This attitude of Petro was harshly criticized by Senator Andrés Forero from Centro Democrático and Representative Julio César Triana from Cambio Radical. Opposition representatives considered the failure to fulfill the 20-minute listening obligation imposed on the president by law as a disrespect to democratic conventions and objected to Petro's claims regarding the realities of the country he presented.
With this incident, it was observed that Petro has left without listening to the opposition after his speeches in Congress for the last three years. Emphasizing the severe clashes he had with the opposition in the reforms he undertook, especially in health, during his term, Petro claimed that the country's social peace was maintained and defended his government's legacy.
