Fico Gutierrez: The possibility of him being "Uribe's presidential candidate."
Since Sunday night Federico Fico Gutierrez had been the most solid candidate for Colombia's presidency. Even though his name appears on the electoral roll for the first time as Medellin's mayor and councilor it's his first time in national elections. He won more than 2 million votes in the Team for Colombia alliance. The voters have positioned him as a favorite candidate for the conservative movements. Fico (47 years old) is currently the primary candidate of Gustavo Petro. His victory in the Historic Pact movement made him one of the most prominent politicians in Colombia.

The presidential campaign is just beginning. Whether the ex-mayor of Medellin will be a true counterweight to petrismo depends on the alliances and negotiations which he develops in the coming days. He must not only unite the entire right, but also take on a small portion of the centre electorate that was disintegrated on Sunday. He will have to steer clear of, as he has so been, from being in the same photograph alongside Alvaro Uribe. Fico Gutierrez The current open support for uribism is a first in the last 20 years. Instead of adding, it might subtract. "Federico Gutierrez faces a dilemma. He has to form an alliance, on Uribe's behalf and the Democratic Center. However, the challenge is convincing Uribe as well as the center which must decide on its direction," Yann basset, analyst at the University of Rosario.

The first victory of Fico was achieved on Monday, as the company began to form the alliance with CD, in which uribism can be concentrated. https://www.elheraldo.co/politica/oscar-ivan-zuluaga-desde-el-uribismo-celebran-su-adhesion-fico-gutierrez-894480 Oscar Ivan Zuluaga (the former presidential candidate) stood aside and acknowledged his limited chances of competing with his. He offered his support. We will now have to see if the entire Uribismo collective that is without a representation, does the same. Uribe can be seen publicly advocating for the cause, and trying to convince his electorate that he's in favor of the Colombian right. His speech about "security" as well as "order", "opportunities", and "love the fatherland” already demonstrated that he adds voters. This was confirmed on Sunday during the election consultation similar to what he had done previously when he was at Antioquia's office of the mayor, where he was also known as the sheriff from Medellin. Fico Gutierrez While on a recent trip to Arauca (an area which has been particularly impacted by violence) Fico said "The bandits are either in prison or in the grave." Fico knows very well what Colombian law is fond of. But that won't be enough for him.

Fico Gutierrez Basset stated that "We're not in 2018, when the fear generated by the left had worked," and that the electorate isn't being swayed by fear this time around. Fico Gutierrez Basset says that Fico could not receive Uribe’s blessing because of the fact that Alvaro Uribe is not the supreme leader that the nation has seen since 2002, which was the year that Uribe was elected president. The vote of Uribismo are still important to Gutierrez. Uribism contributed to the victory [in the coalition]. Basset warns now that his ability in negotiations will be evaluated. In relation to this alliance between the former president and Fico the expert Andres Mejia Vergnaud says "the biggest problem for Federico Gutierrez is that he wants the votes of Uribismo however, he is not able to get the image of Uribe as it doesn't suit him to be his candidate".

Fico Gutierrez Gustavo Petro is the only leader from the left, but Gustavo Petro is the only one from the right. Fico, if he is able to negotiate, can convince him to offer his backing and then take a step back. Rodolfo Hernandez, who launched on his own, is currently in the race. Gutierrez must include the achievements of former Bucaramanga mayor Bucaramanga and billionaire builder Rodolfo Hernandez, if he intends to combat petrismo.

Fico Gutierrez Gutierrez has plenty to discuss before even thinking about names for his possible presidential formula however, what he has is the support of the other candidates who were vying to be the leader of the Team for Colombia coalition. It is not little. He is surrounded by two former mayors Enrique Penalosa (Bogota) and Alex Char (Barranquilla); the leader of the Conservative party, David Barguil, and an individual woman, Aydee Lizarazo, of the Christian party who typically votes judiciously as ordered from the lectern in his church.

Alongside 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 with a stunning turnout of less than 1 million votes. Oscar Ivan Zuluaga was there to support Fico. He didn't go home from Sunday's election without taking time to play down his defeat and avoid a confrontation for the votes with the right. This provides Fico some momentum in a particular area of conservatism. However, it also prevents him from potential votes from the center. Fico Gutierrez According to Alvaro Uribe, former president, Fico will have to decide if he is willing to take a risk at the center in order to enjoy the privilege of being the blessed by Uribe.
