Petro later appeared to back down, posting in a statement that he has arranged the presidential plane to “facilitate the dignified return of the nationals who were to arrive today in the morning.”

“This measure responds to the government’s commitment to guarantee dignified conditions. In no way Colombians, as patriots and subjects of rights, have been and will not be banished from Colombian territory,” he said in the statement.
