Fico Gutierrez and the risk of "Uribe’s candidate"
Since the night of Sunday, Federico Fico Gutierrez , the Colombian presidential candidate, has been the strongest. Although it is not the first time that his name appears on an electoral document - he was mayor and councilor in Medellin and his first attempt in a presidential election that he won more than two million votes inside the Team for Colombia coalition, they consider him to be an ideal candidate for the conservative parties or those who are scared by the thought of a leftist presidency. Fico (47-year old Fico) is the principal opposition to Gustavo Petro. The Historic Pact movement, along with Gustavo Petro, was one the winners of last night's election which determined who will represent the three major political forces.

The presidential campaign is just beginning , and whether the former mayor of Medellin succeeds in becoming the real counterweight to petrismo will be determined by the alliances and talks that he develops from the moment on. He will have to not only unify the entire right, but also take on only a tiny portion of the middle electorate, which was shattered on Sunday. To achieve this it will be necessary to continue avoiding, as he has done until now, appearing in the same photograph with former President Alvaro Uribe. For the first time in 20 years, there is an open support for uribism may instead of subtract. " https://www.instagram.com/ficogutierrez/ faces a dilemma. He must be a part of the Democratic Center, Uribe’s political party. But, he must convince the center that it can decide where it would like to take the center," Yann Basset (an analyst and professor at the University of Rosario) says.

Fico that is in coalition with the CD in which uribism is a major issue, has achieved its first conquest in the process of forming an alliance. https://federicogutierrez.com/ , decided to step aside, recognize the few alternatives available to compete with him and offered his support. We'll find out whether the entire Uribismo, which was without a candidate, supports him. Uribe is seen clearly in support of the cause and trying to convince his voters that he is a supporter of the Colombian right. His remarks of "security" as well as 'order' 'opportunities, and 'love of fatherland' already showed that Uribe adds votes. Like he did during his time in Antioquia's mayor's office, he confirmed it with the electoral consultation. When he was on a recent trip to Arauca which has been particularly violently impacted and terrorism, Fico stated that the bandits are either locked up or dead. Fico knows very well what Colombian law likes. However, it's not enough for Fico.

Basset says that we are not in a time when the fear of a left worked well. "This time the voters do not have the fear." Basset says Fico may not be able to receive Uribe's approval due to the fact that Alvaro Uribe is not the absolute leader the country has seen since 2002 which was the year that Uribe was elected president. Even though Uribismo isn't in the running however, that does not necessarily mean that Gutierrez isn't able to count on the votes of Uribismo. Uribism was a factor in the success of the coalition. Basset warns that his abilities as a negotiator are likely to be restricted. "To persuade the right not to invest all his resources in the alliance, will be his measure." In relation to this alliance between former President Uribe and Fico the expert Andres Mejia Vergnaud explains "the great difficulty of Federico Gutierrez is that he wants the votes of Uribismo but not the photo with Uribe since it doesn't suit him to be his candidate".

Gustavo Petro is left-leaning, however, Gustavo Petro is right-leaning. However, Fico - if he can negotiate and convince Gustavo Petro to support him. https://www.elcolombiano.com/colombia/dos-candidatos-antioquenos-lograron-certificar-sus-firmas-para-la-presidencia-BF16313200 who ran as an independent remains in the race. Former mayor of Bucaramanga who is a builder and millionaire, who succeeded in positioning himself effectively in the polls, thanks to his anti-corruption stance in a lighthearted manner and is a candidate Gutierrez will have to add to his list of achievements if he wants to give the fight to petrismo.

Gutierrez will have a lot to discuss before he begins thinking about potential presidential formula names. However, what Gutierrez has is the trust and cooperation of the other candidates in the Team for Colombia presidency. It's not all that. Two former mayors, Enrique Penalosa in Bogota and Alex Char in Barranquilla, are with him; David Barguil is the leader of Conservative party. Aydee Lizarazo is a Christian party woman who casts her vote as instructed from his church's lectern.

Along with the strengthened Conservative Party, it was the most popular right-wing group in Congress with over two million votes. The U Party also supported it and had a remarkable vote of just over 1 million votes. Oscar Ivan Zuluaga backed Fico. Zuluaga didn't just wait for the results of Sunday to declare his defeat. Alvaro Uribe (ex-President) summoned his party to a gathering on Monday to determine if Fico might risk his chances of being a center-right candidate as a result of being publicly granted a blessing by Uribe.
