The President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, announced that the helicopter he was flying in had to change the route due to the threat of an assassination attempt being prepared against him.
"I didn't land where I was supposed to land because there was a fear that they might open fire on the helicopter, in which my children were also," he said during the cabinet meeting, which was broadcast on the YouTube channel of the presidential administration.
According to Petro, he "avoided being killed." "We made a four-hour flight over the open sea and reached a place where we had not previously planned to reach," he said.
