Fico Gutierrez, and the risk of "Uribe’s presidential candidate"
Federico Fico Gutierrez has been the most solid president-elect of the Colombian since the night of Sunday. Although it's not the first time that his name is on election card - he was previously a Medellin councilor and mayor - this was his first attempt at a national election. With over two millions votes cast in the Team for Colombia coalition alliance they see him as a desirable candidate for conservative groups and those who fear the possibility of a leftist president. Fico (47-year old Fico) is the principal opponent of Gustavo Petro. The Historic Pact movement, as well as Gustavo Petro, was one the winners of the last night's elections, which established who will be the main political forces.

The presidential campaign is only starting. How the ex-mayor from Medellin will be able to counter petrismo and forge alliances and negotiate with foreign countries will determine his success. He'll have to unite the right, and also conquer the center electorate, which was apathetic and without a strong leader on Sunday. He would have to avoid, as he has so been, from being photographed with Alvaro Uribe. Today, for the second time in 20 year it is clear that the support for Uribism rather than adding might reduce. "Federico Gutierrez faces a dilemma. He must make an alliance, Uribe's side along with the Democratic Center. However, he has to convince Uribe and the center, which will have to decide its direction," Yann basset, analyst at the University of Rosario.

https://www.eluniversal.com.co/politica/conozca-a-fico-gutierrez-candidato-de-equipo-por-colombia-a-la-presidencia-AX6257332 is on its path to forming an alliance along with CD, which is the centre of uribism, and this Monday Fico already has its first victory. The party's candidate up until Monday, the former presidential aspirant Oscar Ivan Zuluaga, took a step aside, recognized his few chances of competing with him and provided his support. We will now have to determine if the whole Uribismo collective that is without a representative, will do the same. https://www.lafm.com.co/secretos-la-fm/centro-democratico-dividido-entre-fico-gutierrez-y-alex-char-para-la-consulta will be able to openly support his candidate and persuade his voters through his presentation of the issues of the Colombian left. This should not be a problem for him. His speech about "security", “order", "opportunities", and "love the land" has already demonstrated that he adds voters. He verified it this Sunday by participating in the election consultation, as he did before during his time at the municipal office of the capital of Antioquia in which he was known as the sheriff of Medellin. On a recent visit to Arauca (an area that has been particularly hit by violence), he stated "The bandits are either in prison or in the grave." Fico is aware of what Colombian law prefers. But that won't be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN1LMckIlZI for him.

Basset pointed out that "We're not in 2018, when the fear from the left was effective," and that the electorate is not influenced by the fear this time. Basset says Fico is not likely to receive Uribe's blessing in the event that the Alvaro Uribe image isn't one the country has known since 2002 which was the year that Uribe was elected president. This does not mean that Uribismo's vote, regardless of whether they do not match the criteria are not important to Gutierrez. In the case this Sunday, or in his attempt to reach Medellin's mayor's office, Uribe supported Gutierrez even while he was a candidate for the party. Uribism was also instrumental in this win (winning within the coalition). Basset warns that Basset's ability in negotiations will be analyzed. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federico_Gutiérrez , an analyst, comments on the relationship between Fico and the former president. "The great difficulty for Federico Gutierrez, however, is that he would like Uribismo's vote but not Uribe's image because it's not his style to be his presidential nominee."

Gustavo Petro, the leader of the left is the only person who can lead, but Gustavo Petro, the leader of the right, is running for president. In the event that Fico – again, in the event that it is possible, convinces him to stay aside and support him. http://www.elnuevosiglo.com.co/articulos/12-09-2021-federico-gutierrez-entrego-1400000-firmas-para-avalar-su-candidatura-la , who was independent, is running. Former mayor of Bucaramanga, a builder and millionaire, who has succeeded in positioning himself well in the polls due to his speech against corruption with a humorous tone and is a candidate Gutierrez will have to include on his list of accomplishments in order to win the battle to petrismo.

Gutierrez still has much to accomplish before he can even consider the possible presidential formula names however, he's got the backing of the other candidates in the Team for Colombia coalition. It's not just a little. He is surrounded by two former mayors Enrique Penalosa (Bogota) and Alex Char (Barranquilla); the leader of the Conservative party, David Barguil, and a woman named Aydee Lizarazo, of an Christian party, who normally is a judicious voter, as directed from the lectern in his church.

The Conservative Party was strengthened, and it won the largest right-wing vote of more than two million votes. It also has the support of the U Party. https://www.eltiempo.com/elecciones-2022/presidencia/federico-gutierrez-hablo-de-sus-propuestas-en-el-debate-presidencial-658392 has a strong vote in legislative with more than 1 million votes. Oscar Ivan Zuluaga's support who didn't let Sunday's election be lost, in order to take his defeat before a potential conflict for votes from the right, gives Fico a boost in the conservative wing but also distances him from any votes that could come from the center. https://thebogotapost.com/fico-eyes-colombias-presidency-an-interview-with-pre-candidate-federico-gutierrez/49519/ Uribe from the past was the party's leader who summoned his party for a meeting on Tuesday night, suggested that Fico could risk his chances of becoming a centrist leader in exchange for being publicly grateful to Uribe.
