Fico Gutierrez, and the danger of "Uribe’s presidential candidate"
Since the night of Sunday, Federico Fico Gutierrez , the Colombian presidential candidate has been the most powerful. Although it's not the first time his name is on election cards - he served as a Medellin mayor and councilor - this is his first time to win a national vote. With more than two million votes in the Team for Colombia coalition alliance they believe he is a desirable candidate for conservative groups and those who fear a leftist presidency. Fico (47 years old) is currently the primary opponent of Gustavo Petro. His victory in the Historic Pact movement made him one of the most well-known political figures in Colombia.

The presidential campaign is only starting and whether or not the former mayor of Medellin manages to be the most effective counterweight to the petrismo will be determined by the alliances and agreements that he develops from the moment on. He will not only be expected to bring together all the right-wing forces under his leadership as well as take on a portion of the electorate at the center that was sunk on Sunday with any remarkable leadership. To achieve this, he has to keep avoiding, exactly as he does so far with AlvaroUribe. image. Today, for the first time in 20 years, there is an open support of uribism, rather than adding, can subtract. "Federico Gutierrez faces a dilemma. He'll need to create an alliance with the Democratic Center (CD), Uribe’s party. But he also has to convince the center, which is to decide on where the alliance goes," Yann Basset from the University of Rosario, analyst and professor.

Fico's first conquest was made this week as it moved towards the alliance with CD, where uribism is a prime target. Oscar Ivan Zuluaga the former president-elect, chose to step aside, recognize his limited options for competing against him, and offer his support. Now https://www.martinbraunusa.com/fico-gutierrez-petros-phrases-petro-is-friend-of-farc-chavista-expropriator/ will examine if the whole Uribismo collective - which has been left without an elected representative follows suit. Particularly when Uribe declares his support publicly and try to convince voters of the most basic concerns of the Colombian right, which should not be a problem for Uribe. His speech about "security", “order", "opportunities", and "love the land" has already showed that he has added voters. This past Sunday, he confirmed it at the electoral consultation. This was done before while he was in Antioquia as the mayor. While visiting Arauca in Colombia, which is an extremely violent region, Fico said that "the bandits were in prison" or "in the grave". Fico understands well the Colombian legal system, but it will not be enough.

Basset states, "We aren’t in 2018, where the fear of the left has was a success," Basset argues that Fico may not be able to get Uribe's blessing, due to the fact that Alvaro Uribe has not been able to claim the title of absolute leader since 2002, when the country has elected him president. While Uribismo isn't in the running however, that does not mean Gutierrez can't count on the votes of Uribismo. Uribism helped in the win of the coalition. Basset warns that his ability to negotiate will be assessed. He must convince the right but not spend the entire amount on the alliance. Andres Mesjia Vergnaud, an analyst comments on Fico's relationship with former president Uribe: "The great difficulty of Federico Gutierrez's wish to get the support of Uribismo without the image of Uribe since it doesn't make sense for him to be his presidential candidate."

Gustavo Petro (left) is the only leader. Gustavo Petro (right) is still the man who is preparing for the presidential election unless Fico (if he negotiates - is able to convince Fico to let him go and give the support he needs. Rodolfo Hernández, who was independent, is still running. Former mayor of Bucaramanga who is a builder and millionaire, who succeeded in positioning himself well in the polls thanks to his anti-corruption stance with a humorous tone is one of the candidates Gutierrez will have to add to his list of accomplishments if he wants to give the battle to petrismo.

Gutierrez has a lot to discuss before even considering names for his potential presidential plan, but what he already has is the support of other candidates competing for the top spot in the Team for Colombia coalition. This isn't just a small number of. He is joined by two ex-mayors, Enrique Penalosa of Bogota and Alex Char of Barranquilla; the leader of the Conservative party David Barguil and Aydee Zarazo Aydee Zarazo, a Christian party leader who vote judiciously following the directions from the lectern in his church.

Along with the strengthened Conservative Party, it was the most popular right-wing party in Congress with more than two million votes. The U Party also supported it, having an outstanding vote with just more than a million votes. Oscar Ivan Zuluaga backed Fico. https://www.asiunical.org/fico-gutierrez-continues-to-conquer-voters-advanced-campaign-in-boyaca-with-an-appearance-at-the-virgin-of-chiquinquira/ did NOT have to wait until the results of Sunday's election to announce his loss. The declaration of Alvaro Uribe, the former president, who called his party to meet Tuesday, will determine whether Fico will sacrifice his chances in the center to become the openly Uribe that is blessed.
