Fico Gutierrez has the potential of being recognized as Uribes candidate
Since the night of Sunday, Federico [1] [2] [3] Fico Gutierrez was the most consistent presidential candidate for Colombia. While his name appears on the electoral roll for the first times that he was Medellin's councilor and mayor - it is his first test in the national election. In the last election, he received over 2 million votes with the Team for Colombia alliance. The voters have positioned him as a favorite candidate for conservative groups. Fico (47 years old Medellin) is currently this moment, Gustavo Petro's main opponent. Gustavo Petro was with the Historic Pact Movement one of the winning candidates in the elections that determined the representatives of the three biggest political forces were.
https://www.semana.com/noticias/federico-gutierrez/ is just beginning. Whether the ex-mayor of Medellin can be the true anti-porrismo force depends on the alliances and negotiations he makes in the coming days. Not only will he be required to bring together the entire right under his banner and name, but also to conquer a part of the electorate of the center, which was deflated on Sunday and lacking a strong leadership. To accomplish this, he'll need to continue to avoid appearing in the same picture as Alvaro Umribe, which has been his strategy to date. Today's open support for uribism is the first in the last 20 years. Instead of adding, it can subtract. "Federico Gutierrez faces a dilemma. He has to form an alliance, Uribe's side and the Democratic Center. However, https://www.eluniversal.com.co/politica/conozca-a-fico-gutierrez-candidato-de-equipo-por-colombia-a-la-presidencia-AX6257332 is convincing Uribe, the center that is the one to determine its future direction." Yann basset, analyst at the University of Rosario.
Fico's first conquest was made this Monday as it began to form the alliance with CD which is in which uribism is a prime target. Oscar Ivan Zuluaga was the candidate for that party's presidential run. We will now check to see if the Uribismo group, which was left without a spokesperson until Monday, will offer support. Uribe is likely to publicly support his candidate and convince his electorate through his presentation of the issues that make up the Colombian left. This shouldn't be an issue for Uribe. He already proved that he could increase votes by his remarks on "security"," "order" as well as "love for the country of his fathers". https://www.eltiempo.com/elecciones-2022/presidencia/federico-gutierrez-hablo-de-sus-propuestas-en-el-debate-presidencial-658392 confirmed it on Sunday by participating in the election consultation, as he did before when he was in the office of the mayor in the capital of Antioquia and was popularly known as the sheriff of Medellin. He said, "The bandits were either in jail or in grave," while he was traveling to Arauca an area that is particularly vulnerable to violence. Fico understands well the Colombian legal system, but that will not suffice.
"We are not in 2018, when the fear of left was effective, but this time the electorate is not moved by fear," Basset points out. Basset argues that Fico may not be able to get Uribe's approval due to the fact that Alvaro Uribe has not been able to claim the title of the absolute leader since 2002, the year that the nation elected him president. Although Uribismo is below the table but that doesn't mean Gutierrez can't count on the votes of Uribismo. Uribism was a factor in the success in the coalition. Basset warns that now his abilities as a negotiator are going to be limited. "To convince the right, but to not invest all his resources in the alliance, will be his goal." Andres Medjia Vergnaud remarked on the relationship of the former president and Fico. "The great problem of Federico Gutierrez's is that he would like Uribismo to support his candidate, but without Uribe as a photo the image doesn't work for his style."
Gustavo Petro, the leader of the left is the only person that can be a leader, but Gustavo Petro, the leader of the right, is still running for president. In the event that Fico -- should this be possible - convinces him to stay out and join his. Rodolfo Hernández, an uninvolved, is still in contest. Gutierrez will be able to boast a list of accomplishments to include the ex-mayor of Bucaramanga who is an architect and millionaire.
Gutierrez will have a lot to discuss before he begins thinking about presidential formula names. However the one thing Gutierrez does have is the support and cooperation of other candidates on the Team for Colombia presidency. It's not much. The two former mayors, Enrique Penalosa of Bogota and Alex Char of Barranquilla; the leader of the Conservative party David Barguil and Aydee Zarazo Aydee Zarazo, a Christian leader of the party, who are judiciously voting following the directions from the lectern at his church.
The Conservative Party was strengthened, and was the party that won the most right-wing vote, with more than two million votes. The Conservative Party also enjoys the support of the U Party. This party had an outstanding legislative vote with less than 1 million votes. Oscar Ivan Zuluaga was there to help Fico. He didn't leave Sunday's elections without taking the opportunity to play down his defeat and keep out of a battle for votes of the right. This provides Fico an edge in a particular area of conservatism. But this also shields him from possible votes from the centre. According to Alvaro Uribe, former president, Fico will have to decide whether he wants to risk his chance in the center to have the opportunity to be blessed by Uribe.
