Fico Gutierrez and the risk of recognizing himself as "Uribe's candidate"
Since Sunday night Federico Fico Gutierrez was the most consistent presidential contender for Colombia. While it isn't the first time his name is mentioned on electoral cards - he served as a Medellin mayor and councilor in the past - this was his first attempt at a national election. With more than two millions votes cast in the Team for Colombia coalition alliance they believe he is an ideal candidate for conservative parties and those who are concerned about a leftist presidency. Fico (47-year-old Fico), as he's referred to, is the main opposition of Gustavo Petro. He was as part of the Historic Pact, one of three candidates in the race that determined who would represent the three largest political parties.

The campaign for president is only beginning. If the former mayor of Medellin is the real counterweight to petrismo depends on the alliances and negotiations that he will make from now on. He'll need to not only unify the entire right, but also take on a small portion of the center electorate which has been shattered on Sunday. He will have to steer clear of the situation he has been in so thus far, appearing photographed with Alvaro Uribe. For the first time in the past 20 years, the public acceptance of uribism rather than adding, could reduce. "Federico Gutierrez faces a dilemma. He needs to make an alliance with the Democratic Center (CD) - Uribe's party . http://www.elnuevosiglo.com.co/articulos/12-09-2021-federico-gutierrez-entrego-1400000-firmas-para-avalar-su-candidatura-la But at the same time , he will have to convince the center, which has to decide where it's heading," says Yann Basset an expert and professor at the University of Rosario.

In the process of forming an alliance with the CD in the region in which uribism is concentrated on Monday, Fico has already won its first victory. Oscar Ivan Zuluaga (the former presidential candidate) left the stage and admitted his limited chances of competing with his. He provided his assistance. https://forbes.co/2021/11/25/precandidatos-presidenciales/es-increible-ver-el-obstaculo-que-le-han-puesto-a-hidroituango-de-manera-irresponsable/ We will now see if the whole Uribismo group that was without a representative until Monday, offers its support. Uribe should be open to his support and seek to convince his voters by addressing the traditional issues of Colombian right. This shouldn't be difficult. Already, his remarks on "security", order" opportunities, and the love of the fatherland showed that Uribe is gaining votes. On Sunday, he confirmed that at the consultation on electoral reform. This was done before when he was in Antioquia as mayor. While on a recent trip to Arauca (an region that has been particularly hit by violence) He said "The bandits are in prison or in graves." Fico knows the Colombian legal system, but it will not suffice.

Basset says, "We aren't in 2018 in a time when the fear of the Left was working well." Basset claims that Fico would not be able to get Uribe's approval in the event that the Alvaro Uribe number is not the one that the nation has been accustomed to since 2002 in the year 2002, when Uribe became the president. However, this doesn't suggest that the Uribismo votes aren't enough for Gutierrez. It could be due to the fact that they are less than the table. "This victory [winning in the coalition] is not only because of Uribism. Basset warnsthat "Now his skill as a negotiator (winning in the coalition] will be measured: to convince right, and not spend the entire time on that alliance." Andres Mejia vergnaud, analyst, comments on the relationship between Fico and former president. "The great difficulty to Federico Gutierrez, however, is that he wants Uribismo's support however, he doesn't want Uribe's picture since it isn't a good fit to be his nominee."

Fico Gutierrez Gustavo Petro is left-leaning, and Gustavo Petro is right-leaning. However, Fico - if he can negotiate and convince Gustavo Petro to support him. Rodolfo Hernandez, who ran on his own, is currently running. Former mayor of Bucaramanga who is a builder and millionaire, who been able to present himself well in the polls thanks to his speech against corruption in a light-hearted language and is a candidate Gutierrez will have to include on his list of achievements in order to win the fight to petrismo.

Gutierrez has plenty to discuss before even considering names for his potential presidential plan, but what he already has is the support of other candidates who were vying for leadership in the Team for Colombia coalition. And it's not little. Fico Gutierrez There are two ex-mayors Enrique Penalosa (Bogota), Alex Char (Barranquilla) as his associates. http://www.elnuevosiglo.com.co/articulos/12-09-2021-federico-gutierrez-entrego-1400000-firmas-para-avalar-su-candidatura-la David Barguil (leader of the Conservative Party) and Aydee Zarazo (a Christian party member who votes according to church orders.

Alongside the strengthened Conservative Party - it achieved the most votes of the right-wing parties for Congress with over two million votes - it also has the support of the U Party, which also enjoyed a strong vote in the legislative , with less than 1 million votes. The backing of Oscar Ivan Zuluaga, who didn't let a long time pass following the results of Sunday's elections, to assume his defeat ahead of a possible battle for the votes of the right will give Fico the chance to push forward in a sector of conservatism and swayed him from votes that could be cast from the center. The words of former president Alvaro Uribe says, who invited his party for a meeting on Tuesday is the most important factor to determine if Fico risks his chances for a moderate position by being the Uribe's blessing.
