People in Bogota share mixed views about an investigation against President Gustavo Petro by the country's electoral authority for an alleged campaign financing breach. "If one has nothing to hide, I don't see why he (President Gustavo Petro, ed) claims it's persecution by state entities," says lawyer Nestor Torres. On the other hand, public employee Juan Gonzalez believes the situation reflects the "persecution by the political class that has governed this country." Colombia's electoral authority said it was investigating leftist leader Gustavo Petro for allegedly exceeding spending limits in his 2022 campaign by nearly one million dollars. If the CNE determines that he has violated campaign financing rules, he could face financial penalties. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
