“César Gaviria is just any politician”: Sergio Fajardo confirmed that he will not join the Liberal Party

Presidential candidate Sergio Fajardo insists on reaching the Colombian presidency supported by the center sector and closing the doors to the Liberal Party, led by former Colombian president César Gaviria, who has not been spared the darts that the Centro Esperanza aspirant sends him whenever he can.

For example, this week, Fajardo gave interviews to several media outlets in the country, where he missed no opportunity to question him vehemently or deny him, assuring that he does not need his support, since he is an “ordinary politician”.

Even the former mayor of Medellín described as “dramatic” the “spectacle” that Gaviria has starred in because of his possible alliances with other of the two presidential candidates, that of the Historical Pact Gustavo Petro and that of the Team for Colombia, Federico Gutiérrez.

“Thinking about whether he is with Petro or 'Fico', he talks about what César Gaviria's Liberal Party is because liberals don't follow those instructions. The show he has given him is dramatic,” Sergio Fajardo told the microphones of the La FM station.

In fact, he even recalled that liberalism wanted to support former presidential pre-candidate Alejandro Gaviria, but that they finally closed the doors to him after he joined the Centro Esperanza Coalition. Moreover, he even said that César Gaviria would no longer join Petro because of the statements of his vice-presidential formula, Francia Márquez.

In that interview, the current presidential candidate assured that he has refrained “from saying things” about the former head of state because he does not want controversy. However, he emphasized again and again that “with Mr. César Gaviria I am not going to sit down at this point in my life discussing politics”.

He even assured journalists who were interviewing him that this collective, which helped President Iván Duque win the 2018 elections, is going “from one side to the other to see where it is sold.” In addition, he explained that he does not want to join him because “the only thing he has been clear about is to go against me,” he added.

These are not the first criticisms that Fajardo sends to the head of the liberals. Earlier this week, he pointed out that the Liberal Party does not represent the ideas of freedom that have prevailed for years in Colombian politics and criticized that this community had only two options in view.

“It's incredible that a party, with the history that liberalism has in Colombia, what liberal ideas have meant in our country, is thinking today whether it chooses between Duque and Uribe or Petro, that means they don't have an identity, that they lost it and the liberal people deserve the identity that we are going to give them,” he said. Fajardo.

He also assured that the real essence of liberalism in the country is represented, according to him, by the New Liberalism party, led by the Galán brothers. So he appealed to the followers of these ideas: “To all those liberal people, who are many in Colombia, we call upon them to freedom, to defend ideas”.

César Gaviria's enmity with Sergio Fajardo has long been known. In fact, the former president criticizes that Fajardo has not presented a solid proposal for the country, which makes his victory as president impossible.
