'We more centralism': Federico Gutierrez during his time at

The importance of Sunday's election results

The first issue of the debate was to look at Sunday's election result. "It seems to us that we have one leg in the second rounds that is a real political reality. Fico added, "With humility, I demanded that we come together and win in round one."

After that issue was air the possibility of winning in round one was discussed. Team for Colombia's presidential candidate stated: "The numbers speak for them." Our coalition was among the smallest and it's been around for three months. We're only just a few seconds away from being one million votes away from the Historic Pact, it is quite clear that we are the only ones that will be able to go to the second round to face these authoritarian and populist projects similar to those of Petro."

Tough questions to Petro

Federico Gutierrez challenged Gustavo Petro's decision not to include Piedad Cordoba in the list. "How can you say you won't accept any corrupt person in the list when Piedad Cordoba is on it and he has been involved in the Chavez regime that poses danger to Colombia?" Fico declared his support for Ingrid Betancourt who accused Cordoba "trading as kidnapping".

Gutierrez later launched a vicious attack on Petro and declared Petro a "friend" of the FARC.

"Those who have attacked others who kidnapped the innocent, killed, extorted are the owners of peace. We are the masters and masters in the war." I've employed an instrument in my life that was different from yours. I am a moral person with authority and the right to speak about peace. I will force the FARC as well as your allies and allies to comply since they haven't fulfilled their commitment to peace.

Zuluaga is spotted at the Gutierrez campaign

The second topic Gutierrez aired was the arrival of Oscar Ivan Zuluaga to his campaign: "Zuluaga called me to felicitate me and to pledge to his campaign. I said, I thank you for that personal position and I will discuss with him but I'm also going to have a discussion to many other sectors that want to join our candidacy," he said and made it clear that he's not Uribe's nominee, however the candidate will acknowledge that he is in his.

He also said: "Those of us who believe in freedom and democracy need to be united. I will be meeting with teachers and the cooperative sector. We will set out a national agenda for the country and showcase how we can help."

Gutierrez in the middle of the discussion she rebuked Ingrid Betancourt to "whom is asserting that one is the only good one" and "that everyone is inherently evil or corrupt."

She stated, "You don’t have have to tell us that I am not a good person with bad intentions." as well as, "Is there really any single good thing in Central America?" If I'm elected president, which I will be the next president, I will be united. I'm not sure if the people are left-leaning or the right, but I'm going to be governing in the best way possible."

Ingrid claimed that the actor was being assisted by "machineries like Los Char" and Dilian Francisca Toro. He defended himself. He stated, "I am an individual with character. I am willing to make numerous alliances, however, I have the moral character to avoid the corruption or violence to take place," he said.

"Petro is dumb"

Federico Gutierrez, made a fresh argument against Gustavo Petro. He said that he's aided in his quest for dominion extinction by ex-senator Armando Bidenetti. And when he did get no response, he claimed that the candidate for Historic Pact "always acts dumb."

What does a health candidate offer?

The concept of a national health system was outlined by the former mayor of Medellin: "Ideology must not be the rule. We require respect and dignity when it comes to health care services. We intend to end the lengthy lines. We will promote health and wellness, as well as integration between the IPS and EPS, implementation of the Siga method, where triage is performed and determined where you will go to be treated depending on the condition you are suffering from.

He said that it is essential to provide improved conditions for health workers and "that these have guarantees of linking" and stated that he will not end EPS however, he will continue to strengthen the system of care. He also said that "EPS that fails to work is dissolved."

Relations with the United States

To the question, Will you reconsider your relationship with the United States? Gutierrez said he will continue to maintain a bipartisan, positive relationship with the United States. There are still a few issues which need to be addressed. We will be strengthening an environment where production is available in order that the relationship is not just one of political but also commercial.

UU is the biggest issue within the U.S. of today. It forces us into the realisation that the world has changed and that they have an economy that is able to provide more food for consumption however they can export high-quality products to other countries.

Gutierrez took the opportunity to make a bid for Petro: "The blockades, which you Petro ordered to close the roads, had an impact on the cost of food. Gutierrez said that many people wonder why eggs and chicken are so expensive since they were blocked by roads.

Gutierrez reiterated Petro's assertion that the government "is planning to expropriate" but also noted that his administration will offer low-cost loans to farmers and strengthen irrigation districts and will respect the land's ownership.

Questions from candidates to the candidates

It was the responsibility of Federico Gutierrez to answer his position before the Uribe and Duque government: "I am clear that beginning on August 7, all that works, independent of the government, I will carry on it, and what doesn't work, I will make it better," he said.

He added that "the concept of security is important however, it is not integral. I would like to mix it with the social. If military forces need to travel to a place where there is conflict, every helicopter will be accompanied by the assistance of social investment.

Gutierrez wrote a critique of Petro. https://www.asiunical.org/fico-gutierrez-took-part-in-the-medellin-marathon-in-medellin-what-did-the-race-turn-out-2/ said that Petro provided them with current assistance through Families in Action. Take a look at Venezuela.

Pension debate

Gutierrez suggested to enhance pensions, "to transfer the state's capability to the territory entities to help strengthen the cash in fixed assets like schools or roads." Additionally, there are 20 billion pesos in mafia-related assets that do not have to be handled by the government," he said.

He also said that "that's why I'm making legislation that will have more domain-extinction prosecutors and courts, to ensure that the money is assets for education, healthcare, and pension system for the 3 million people with a retirement pension." He concluded that the "resources are available but you must know what they are."

Are you looking to book an appointment with Pope Francis while on the campaign route

The debate focused on the visits of potential candidates Gustavo Petro or Rodolfo Gutierrez to Pope Francis. Fico Gutierrez said that the reason why people are planning to meet Pope Francis is because they aren't familiar with him. While I do know him, my appointment today is with Colombians. In fact I've met him in Medellin as part of the papal visits , and I listened to him very often that day."

Relations with Venezuela

The last issue of the discussion was the relationship with Venezuela in which Gutierrez said: "Maduro's relationship with Colombia has been through the FARC and the Eln dissidents, the FARC, Piedad and Petro. Maduro can't, as I'm sure be recognized by the government since it is an absolute dictatorship. There is however a reality in the frontier."

He said that vehicular traffic should also be allowed due to trade issues, that are still a problem because criminal groups maintain operating an illegal economy. Maduro is not a country with the status of a government. The business decisions must be taken on the spot at the border.

Gutierrez has a new battle with Petro during a discussion about the matter. He claimed that he was silent to defend his "allies", referring to Russia and Syria, as well as Venezuela.

He also decried the idea that Colombia could be separated from coal and oil. "That is the reason renewable energy projects like wind and solar are being undertaken. There are steps being taken to achieve this, and we're going to double the capacity."

Gutierrez delivered a farewell address: "Petro, You are Chavez and Maduro but I am neither Uribe nor Duque." I am the president of the Colombians."
