Actress Margarita Rosa de Francisco sparked controversy on social media with her response to a post celebrating Colombia’s economic achievements under President Gustavo Petro. The original post highlighted a falling dollar, economic growth, controlled inflation, reduced unemployment, and increased tourism and air travel, countering claims that Colombia might become another Venezuela under Petro. Margarita Rosa commented, “What drug addiction does,” which led to widespread debate. Some interpreted her remark as ironic criticism, while others saw it as a direct dismissal of the post or its data. “The dollar isn’t falling because of Petro’s actions. It’s falling globally, as shown by the DXY index,” replied user @Alfonso_lastraf. Margarita Rosa’s ambiguous comment fueled discussions about Colombia’s economic state and political divisions. Known for her active role in social and political debates, Margarita Rosa often polarizes opinions on social media. This episode underscores the sensitivity surrounding discussions of President Petro’s governance and the expectations it has generated.
