Congressman Mauricio Toro assured that Angelica Lozano made a “tantrum” to get Olga Lucia Velásquez into the Green Alliance

After the Green Alliance representative, Mauricio Toro, burned himself in his bid to re-elect himself in the House of Representatives following the legislative elections of March 13, in the last few hours he targeted his co-party, Senator-elect Angelica Lozano, who would have made “tantrums” and pressures to help others candidates.

This was stated by the congressman during an interview with the BluRadio station, in which he charged Lozano for being infatuated with bringing the now-elected representative Olga Lucia Velásquez into the party, who did pass the legislature and took, according to Toro, his seat in Congress from him.

According to the parliamentarian, the wife of the mayor of Bogotá, Claudia López, wanted to put Velázquez into the canopies of the 'greens', ignoring the calls made by other party members, where they claimed that the questioned woman came “from the traditional structures” of politics and could cause other members of the party of the collective will be left out of the party. And yes, after the scrutiny, it did.

In addition, he assured that Lozano “made a gigantic tantrum and, in fact, pressured the executive (of the party) so that Olga Lucia could enter”, despite the fact that several well-known figures of the sunflower party had opposed it.

“What everyone said happened. Juanita Goebertus had opposed it precisely because of that and we had done so Katherine Miranda, Inti Asprilla and many of the party,” added Toro in relation to one of the most questioned congressmen of this legislature. In fact, there are rumors where he is allegedly linked to the former mayor of Bogotá, Samuel Moreno, who is currently imprisoned for several corruption crimes in the capital.

Well, according to Mauricio Toro, Velázquez had not entered the party in the past, but by a decision by Lozano - who did re-elect the Senate - the woman in question managed to take over a seat in Congress, taking 29,819 votes after the counting of votes by the National Registry of Civil Status.

“The first vote left it out. She did not enter, but with Angelica's tantrum that vote was reopened and Olga Lucia entered. And indeed what we warned happened. We had warned him,” the congressman told the station, where he also highlighted the link between the former Liberal Party militant and mayor Claudia López.

The statements of the green parliamentarian, who will have to leave the House of Representatives on 20 July, were immortalized through his Twitter account, where Angelica Lozano herself reacted to his explosive statements, but with a brief message in which she tried to justify what her colleague said and hinted that she has another version of how it all happened. ” My version is missing, don't you think?” , he merely said in a trill of response the video.

The encounter between two of the most visible faces of Alianza Verde comes after they were seen close together in the middle of the campaign seeking votes in various sectors of Bogotá, such as the Theatron bar, where they wanted to amass support from the LGBTIQ+ community, of which they are part.
