The main person in charge of reducing seats in Congress is me: Álvaro Uribe

On Tuesday, March 15, Álvaro Uribe Vélez, the former President of Colombia, was responsible for the results of the Democratic Center in the legislative elections in which the ruling party lost a majority of 41 seats in the Congress of the Republic and 5 seats in the Senate. 5 seats in the House of Commons.

This was stated by the former president at a meeting in which members of the collective were summoned last Sunday, March 13, after the election results were known, and he is the only candidate for the union policy that will face the president's first round, except for the Congress of the Republic.

That is why I would like to do this by applying the principle of “there are many who do not interfere”, but the party cannot be an obstacle or a blocking factor. The party should help with attitude and attitude with thought and determination so that Colombia can lead to a huge coalition that can effectively deal with Petro.” Former president.

These statements by the former president come a day after Oscar's ruling party candidate Ivan Zulua announced his support for Federico Gutierrez, a candidate for the Colombian team's right-wing alliance, after resigning his aspirations for the Colombian presidency and consulting with Gustavo Petro.

On the other hand, the former president assured that the party should restore the Special Chamber, referring to the reform of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), a problem previously solved by some members of the community, such as Senator Paloma Valencia and María Fernanda Cabal, which is sufficient.”
