The comment sparked strong criticism against the artist, and President Gustavo Petro did not hesitate to respond since, in his opinion, the words were aimed at his daughter. The head of state assured that it is one “very ignorant villainy” and emphasized that being a street dweller is not the right thing to do “stigmatize”, when announcing legal action.
“Some spectators of the football match in Barranquilla can be excused for perhaps not knowing that they were harassing a minor, but here it is done intentionally. “My daughter has asked me to take legal action and on behalf of the children of Colombia I must do so,” said.

“The President is absolutely right, molesting a minor is very ignorant nonsense. I hope you remember that HE harassed me a few weeks ago for opposing his reforms. Sanabria emphasized.
In the message, Jerome added: “Selective morality is also very ignorant nonsense, President.”

Last Thursday, November 30, the young woman presented in a video two reasons why Colombians are against health reform. “Here are two of the many reasons to oppose health care reform. Let’s NOT leave our health to politicians. Let’s say NO to healthcare reform!” was the message that accompanied Sanabria’s video.
Afterward, The head of state responded and said that her statement was false.
“I have to respond to this message reproduced by our friend Sergio Barbosa. It's not like that. It's not about lies. Who said there would only be one service provider? There will be thousands of healthcare providers across the country, most of them private. Who said the patient can't choose? The reform anchors the principle of the patient's free choice of doctor. Don't lie to the citizens, respect them“said the President.
“This is how you deceive young people, Mr. President. His reform envisages leaving health services in the hands of the state (monopoly). Where will the 14,000 IPS go? It is wrong that we have freedom of choice when we only have one supplier, which is the state,” Sanabria told President Petro.
“My dear friend Jerome, the 14,000 IPS, most of them private, my data is 18,000, are all organized into regional networks. If a referral is made due to illness, the patient is free to choose their doctor. and therefore your IPS. Adres pays 85% of the IPS bill one month before the exam. The 18,000 IPS, most of which are private, will then be strengthened. The patient's free choice of doctor will determine the quality growth in the IPS in the medium term,” said President Petro.
