Video: Armando Benedetti verbally assaults Federico Gutierrez

Colombian presidential candidate Federico 'Pico' Gutierrez team and Senator Armando Benedetti were the protagonists of a strong discussion after the presidential debate hosted by Levista Semana and El Tiempo on March 14. The episode was recorded on video, in which two politicians scream at each other.

The video begins when he hears a senator shouting rudeness to Gutiérrez, and the latter does not remain silent and suggests that this behavior is typical for him.Benedetti responds by inviting him to come to discuss, understood by some as an invitation to fight physically. It should be noted that this happened in the auditorium where the discussion took place.

- Benedetti: Bobo Hijou...

- Gutiérrez: That's an example of what you show

- Benedetti: Yes, I do. Come on, come on...

- Gutierrez: That's what they do

When these screams occur, Benedetti leaves the auditorium and Gutiérrez continued to refer to episodes with people who were in space. The presidential candidate called the actions of the senator provocative, and politician bandit.

It is worth mentioning that in the midst of the controversy, Gutierrez attacked Petro, so the anger of the senator was released. They pointed out that people like Benedetti were questioned or went through public judicial proceedings.

“He has a process of extinction, illegal enrichment of domination, and walks up and down with you.And corruption is good and not elsewhere. Corruption is corruption, no matter where it comes from. It is also one of the arguments that owes an explanation to the state. Of course you will not give it, but you will owe it to the country.” said the presidential candidate.

It should be remembered that Benedetti filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court for an unproven increase in wealth in 2009, 2014, 2016 and 2017.During the investigation, the prosecutor's office occupied an apartment of considerable value in the Senate on October 25, which is supposedly purchased by a third party at the National Drug Administration auction.

Benedetti defended himself on Twitter during the debate and told the candidate that he was a coward.In addition, he was convinced that although these processes were open to entrust him, everything came out clean.

At the end of the debate, Benedetti did not leave the place without personally reproaching Gutierrez. However, the senator himself says that this is not the best way. Tonight he made it clear that there was not even an attempt at physical aggression, and again issued another message to brand the presidential candidate as a coward.

“There was no fight or attempt to invade, but I was wrong. Pico is more than a fool, a coward who attacks me in a scenario where I know I can't answer. Has Mafia Minister Gustavo Villegas become accustomed?” , he wrote a letter to me.
