Fico Gutierrez, and the possibility of being acknowledged as "Uribe’s candidate"
Since the night of Sunday, Federico Fico Gutierrez had been the most reliable candidate for Colombia's presidency. Although it is not the first time that his name is on an electoral card - he was a councilor and mayor of Medellin the city he was elected to represent - but his first time in a national election which he won more than two million votes within the Team for Colombia coalition, they have him listed as an ideal candidate for the conservative parties or those who feel scared about a leftist presidency. Fico (47-year-old Fico), as he's known is the principal opponent to Gustavo Petro. He was in the Historic Pact, one of three winners in the election that determined who would represent the three most powerful forces in politics.

The presidential campaign is just beginning. How the ex-mayor from Medellin can combat petrismo, forge alliances with other nations will determine his chances of success. He'll need to not only unify the entire right but also conquer just a tiny fraction of the center electorate which was disintegrated on Sunday. In order to do that, he would need to avoid his past mistakes to date by not appearing in the same photo with the former president Alvaro Uribe. For the first time in the past 20 years, open support for uribism is now possible be a good thing instead of reducing. " https://www.portafolio.co/elecciones-2022/discurso-fico-gutierrez-tras-ganar-coalicion-de-equipo-por-colombia-562882 faces a dilemma. He must form an alliance with Uribe's Democratic Center (CD), however, he must also try to convince Uribe's centre.

On the way to joining forces with the CD which is where uribism is concentrated This Monday Fico has already achieved its first triumph. Oscar Ivan Zuluaga (the former presidential candidate) stepped aside and acknowledged his inability to compete with his. https://federicogutierrez.com/ offered his assistance. The next step is to check if the Uribismo group - which is without an elected representative - does the same. Uribe is able to show his support by being transparent and convincing his voters with traditional questions that are typical of the Colombian Right. Already, his speech on "security", order" opportunities, and the love of the country showed he is adding votes. This past Sunday, he confirmed that at the consultation on electoral reform. https://www.elcolombiano.com/colombia/dos-candidatos-antioquenos-lograron-certificar-sus-firmas-para-la-presidencia-BF16313200 happened when he was in Antioquia as mayor. While on a recent trip to Arauca (an area that has been particularly affected by violence) Fico said "The bandits are locked up or in the grave." https://www.eltiempo.com/elecciones-2022/presidencia/federico-gutierrez-hablo-de-sus-propuestas-en-el-debate-presidencial-658392 is well-versed in the Colombian legal system, but this will not be enough.

Basset said that "We're not in the years when the fear from the left worked well," and that the electorate isn't being swayed by fear this time around. Basset says that Fico could not get Uribe’s blessing because of the fact that Alvaro Uribe isn't the only leader that the country has seen since 2002, at the time Uribe was elected president. Although this does not mean that Uribismo's votes Uribismo, even if they are below the table aren't important to Gutierrez such as what happened on Sunday, or in his first attempt to reach the city's mayor's office in Medellin and the city of Medellin, where Uribe did not hesitate to support him over the candidate from his party. Uribism is also responsible for this victory in the coalition. Now https://www.efe.com/efe/usa/america/fico-gutierrez-se-perfila-como-el-candidato-de-un-sector-la-derecha-colombiana/50000103-4760107 as a negotiator will be measured: to persuade the right, but not to spend all of his money on the alliance," Basset warns. On this relationship between the former president and Fico the expert Andres Mejia Vergnaud says "the great difficulty of Federico Gutierrez is that he wants the votes of Uribismo, but without the image of Uribe as it doesn't fit him as a candidate".

On https://www.lafm.com.co/secretos-la-fm/centro-democratico-dividido-entre-fico-gutierrez-y-alex-char-para-la-consulta , there is only one leader, Gustavo Petro, on the right there is still a man who is heading for the presidential election in the event that Fico - again, if he manages to reach an agreement - convinces him to withdraw and support him. Rodolfo Hernandez remains running despite having run independently. The former mayor of Bucaramanga, a builder and millionaire, who has been able to present himself effectively in the polls, thanks to his speech against corruption with a humorous tone, is a man that Gutierrez will have to include on his list of achievements should he decide to put up the fight to petrismo.

Gutierrez has a lot more to discuss before even thinking about names for his possible presidential formula. However Gutierrez does have the backing of other candidates for the Team for Colombia leadership. It's not too much. Two ex-mayors, Enrique Penalosa(Bogota) and Alex Char (Barranquilla), are with him. David Barguil, the leader and founder of the Conservative party is in the same room with Aydee Zarazo, Aydee Lizarazo, a member of the Christian Party, who frequently is a spokesman for his church's orders.

Alongside the stronger Conservative Party (which won the largest vote among right-wing forces for Congress by more than two millions votes) It also enjoys the support and sympathy of U Party, which had an outstanding vote at the legislative level, with less than 1 million votes. Oscar Ivan Zuluaga's support, who didn't let Sunday's election pass by in order to accept his defeat prior to a possible confrontation for votes of the right, gives Fico an advantage in the conservative wing however, it also impedes his possible votes from within the middle. Alvaro Uribe (ex-President) summoned his party to a meeting on Monday to determine if Fico would risk his chances of gaining a seat in the center as a result of being publicly granted a blessing by Uribe.
