Actually, we need a man like Padilla, not like him, to run things in the future.
Now,
Whether Padilla himself was actually in a plot to get rid of Bolivar, many modern historians say actually the evidence is really weak.
And they think that he was targeted due to racial prejudice and this political rivalry and all of Bolivar's paranoia at the time.
But what happens is that Bolivar has him imprisoned and then has him executed.
It lends itself, doesn't it, to all the things that you've been warning about this man.
It doesn't.
It doesn't.
And while he's making these decisions that are making him actually increasingly unpopular, you find this is a man whose health is failing too because he contracts tuberculosis.
Do you remember he watched her coughing up blood and dying this horrible, painful death and his stamina is going and he's sort of thin and he's shaking and he's taking opium for his pain and his mental health not much better.
He's becoming stressed out and increasingly paranoid of assassination.
And this hardens him against the very people he was hoping to unite and liberate.
The liberator was now suspecting plots around every corner.
They are out to get him there.
There is a target on his head.
Because these Santander loyalists who've seen him boot out their man, then execute another, they decide actually that it is time for him to go.
Yeah.
I mean, it's sort of unthinkable.
The great man himself must go.
But that is what they decide.
