The scandal surrounding Mary Anne Perdomo, the teacher who was left alone on the Historical Pact list and won

Mary Anne Andrea Perdomo Gutierrez is 35 years old. He was born in Piedecuesta, Santander. She is a mother, has a degree in pedagogy and works as a teacher. Over the past few years, she has dedicated herself to working with children through various social strengthening initiatives. From an early age, it was clear that politics was the way to change injustices. This is what we can easily find out about who this woman is, however, there is a lot of secrecy around her figure.

She was the only candidate who did not want to give up the Historic Pact list last December when the Petrianism aspirants reached an agreement with the Green Alliance to unify the lists. The decision has been discussed, since there are suspicions of unscrupulous manipulation by certain sectors of Humana Colombia and, in particular, by Perdomo herself, among which there would be hidden interests on the part of uribism.

In recent days, Julio Acela, a political analyst, explained that the party had indeed accepted the alliance, but only one person had refused. It has been “lost” for more than 15 days, said Carlos Toledo, a former Bucaramanga mayoral candidate, and said to worry Colombia Humana members because they were unaware of their interests in staying on the list.

According to Acela, the decision to “overturn” the list of the Historical Pact has become very well known in recent days at the national level and even Gustavo Petro knew about it. He also insisted not to vote for the historic Santander Pact but for Alianza Verde, where several of the candidates who would support him would be located. The fact is that the fact that the teacher did not resign allowed the Historical Pact to appear on the closed consultation sheet, beyond the fact that in February an attempt was made to make it invisible through the imposition of a legal figure. The petition was not accepted and the educator's request was maintained. In the end, he ended up taking the place in the Santander House of Representatives.

The newly elected deputy spoke about what Toledo said and rumors about her continuous absences: “In the week of December 17, when they say that I was lost, we had the National Assembly of Humana Colombia and I was delegated to present myself to the General Secretariat. It's totally fictional that I'm lost. We were working,” she said, adding that her commitment to Santander is in force and that nothing prevents her from continuing.

Perdomo presents a proposal that covers non-fracking, education and the importance of quality health, among other issues. It has the support of various entrepreneurs in the region who see it as an opportunity to change many things. One of the main interests of its support is to strengthen transport in all its forms and the use of raw materials to stimulate the economy. However, there is a lot of discomfort in Santander, from the citizens, because they give Perdomo a lively attitude, arguing that he obtained the party logo only to make a profit in the name of his personal interests. In addition, an image is circulating on the networks in which it aims to clarify several rumors regarding the teacher's campaign to take the place of a member of Congress. Apparently, sabotage is in the hands of uribism, he says. The image even shows that the photograph known to women does not correspond to what it looks like today.

“Santander's new muff”, that's what it's called on social networks, comparing it to Senator Jonathan Tamayo. According to what is said, his election does not at all represent the spirit of the Historical Pact, which seeks, among other things, to represent the causes of those who need it most. Beyond the doubts, without so much hype or a consolidated team, the new deputy intends to make her work and that of her party visible, and guarantee the citizens of Santander their commitment.
