Colombia’s vice president received Soros funds for a diplomatic tour in Africa

By Lucas Ribeiro

Colombia’s Vice President Francia Márquez has bluntly admitted that multimillionaire George Soros financed part of her recent trip to Africa.

Márquez has already been dropping any disguise or signs of modesty since she openly responded to criticism for her actions worthy of the rich and famous, such as flying in a helicopter to her mansion in an exclusive area of Cali.

Marquez’s latest trip was worthy of a celebrity.

The Colombian media have questioned her about her recent tour of Africa, where she took an opulent entourage of 53 people, including her sentimental partner, even though the latter holds no official position.

These episodes of extravagance and abundance reveal the discrepancy between Márquez’s attitudes and the socialist proposals for which she arrived in the House of Nariño alongside Gustavo Petro.

Besides this controversy of splurging on her spending, the new controversy concerns who financed the glamorous socialist vice president.

The new controversy concerns a thank you message addressed to the Open Society Foundation, founded by George Soros, a multimillionaire and advocate of globalist plans.

Soros is the best-known funder of the whole woke, globalist, ultra-progressive agenda.

And his influence in international organizations and even governmental institutions is gigantic worldwide.

The Hungarian tycoon’s foundation funded part of Márquez’s trip to South Africa, Ethiopia, and Kenya from May 10-18.

Although Márquez understands that Soros’ support is aimed at strengthening democracies in Latin America and the Caribbean, it is important to point out that Soros’ intentions go completely against democracy.

In February of this year, it was reported that the businessman allocated US$16 million to “progressive” plans of Gustavo Petro, whose mandate vacillates between reform proposals aimed at controlling the economy, health care, and harming businesses and workers, as explained by journalist Oriana Rivas for the Panam Post.

Colombia’s political opposition questioned the high cost of the trip.

Congressman Hernán Cadavid revealed that US$370,000 were spent on fuel alone, not counting other expenses.

President Gustavo Petro said that the criticism of the vice president’s travel costs was “pure and simple racism.”

Petro used the old strategy of criticizing excessive travel expenses as racism.

That is, in a magical way, defending the Colombian taxpayer’s money turns into a vile form of racism against Márquez, who is ethnically black.

Márquez’s trip to Africa was intended to strengthen commercial, diplomatic, and cultural ties.

Agreements were signed with South Africa, including exchanges of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects, open data, political consultations, and Spanish language instruction.

The vice president continues strengthening ties with African nations, funded by a businessman seeking to consolidate his globalist plan.

Colombia’s foreign ministry celebrated the Colombian leader’s historic visit to Addis Ababa by highlighting “The growing leadership of women in the Global South and #FeministForeignPolicy.”

In addition to a feminist foreign policy, Francia Márquez promoted the “climate change” agenda in Kenya. In South Africa, she called for the African country to mediate “peace dialogues with the ELN.”
