“César Gaviria represents continuity”: Sofía Petro, daughter of Gustavo Petro, criticized the head of the Liberal Party

Sofia Petro, one of the daughters of presidential candidate Gustavo Petro, did not like it at all that Liberal Party director César Gaviria closed the door to the Historical Pact. This, after the vice-presidential formula of his father, Francia Márquez, vehemently attacked the former Colombian president.

Through her Twitter account, the young woman vehemently questioned Gaviria, who conditioned petrianism to join them in the first presidential round, what Sofia did not like and did not hesitate to show it in a post on her profile.

In her short but impetuous pronouncement, Petro Hija assured that the former Colombian president's thinking is “macho” and reminded him that politics had supposedly changed.

And his questioning didn't stop there. The fellow political science student, who has been seen in the company of her father during her third presidential campaign, said that César Gaviria represents “continuity.”

“In my opinion this is a bad excuse for a decision I had already made: that of being left behind. A large sector of politics believes that you represent continuity, it is nothing new. Your job is to prove no. This only proves that, after all, they are right,” concluded the daughter of candidate Petro on the social network.

Another one who also spoke was Gustavo Petro himself, who leads the voting intention polls, and who responded to the former president with whom he had approached in recent days, in the face of the legislative and presidential elections, that a “liberal attitude will always be willing to accept criticism and arguments” instead of this.”

In turn, he pointed out that he did not seek to disqualify people when he recognized that Colombia needed a path of rectification, and he invited the ranks of the liberal party to make the country “a power of life”, leaving the door open to members of that bench and militants to support the political project of the Historical Pact.

Following these events, Senator-elect of Petrism, Roy Barreras, announced that he will be requesting an appointment with Gaviria to restore relations for the first round of elections on May 29. This was said by the congressman during the morning of last Thursday, March 24, in a press conference, attended by the vice-presidential candidate Francia Márquez and the entire bench of the Historical Pact. Gustavo Petro, presidential candidate, was there for the photo, but then he left.

In his announcement, Barreras excused himself for the criticism sent to him on Wednesday by Francia Márquez, which is why the head of the liberals disengaged himself from joining Petro in the presidential elections.
