Candidate Federico Gutiérrez travels the country seeking support for his presidential campaign. While most sectors are attentive to his pronouncement regarding the vice-presidential formula, he has extended this communiqué by adhering to his campaign, political sheets of great weight in different regions of the country. His visit to Barranquilla was much more than going to see the Colombia national team match, as he was received by one of the most influential political houses in this region.
In the last qualifying dates that the Colombia team played in Barranquilla, the co-supporters of the Team for Colombia coalition met in the capital of the Atlantic to promote their campaign, in addition to enjoying the sporting spectacle, however, on Gutiérrez's last visit to this territory, he was met with Alex Char, but also with all the main heads of this family, who confirmed their support for the presidential elections, showing their affection in this Caribbean land.
From this meeting, photographs were released in which 'Fico' was accompanied by his partner in the Team for Colombia consultation Alejandro Char, Senator Arturo Char and their father, Fuad Char Abdala, the main head of this political clan. However, these were not the only guests, because despite the fact that Cambio Radical has not defined their position regarding the support they will provide in the upcoming elections, several senators from this political force would join the campaign of the former mayor of Medellín, adding almost half of the support that the party led by Germán Vargas can give Lleras.
Similarly, as was able to establish Blu Radio's information director Ricardo Ospina, Federico Gutiérrez is implementing a much more regional strategy, as he also had the opportunity to meet with councillors and deputies of the Liberal Party in this region. This factor would allow it to expand its circle far beyond the main capitals of the country, and seek support in surrounding municipalities and rural areas of each of the departments.
Among the most predominant names compared to the meetings that Federico Gutiérrez has had, is that of the former governor of the Atlantic, Eduardo Verano de la Rosa. On the other hand, he met with two congressmen of Radical Change, Carlos Abraham Jiménez, who in recent weeks served as spokesman for the party, and also Carlos Fernando Motoa, a prominent lobbyist for this political group in the country.
The case of Verano de la Rosa is particular, since it initially had several differences with Alex Char during his presidential pre-candidacy, however, later, De la Rosa joined the campaign of the former mayor of Barranquilla, to go on to support the Team for Colombia coalition, this, in the last hours, would have sounded like a formula vice-presidential 'Fico', however, this was not confirmed, since the pronouncement of this issue will be officially held on Monday, defining who will be the right hand of the Antioquian leader heading to the Casa de Nariño.
Everything points to the fact that the former leader of the medellinenses, will announce his vice-presidential formula on Monday, March 28, at 10 in the morning. So far, so many names have rang that none are defined so far, although initially, Federico Gutiérrez appealed to most of the political forces in the country, his alliance with the Char begins to discard several names, for example that of Ingrid Betancourt, who in recent days referred to his approaches with the rest of the political contenders, he pointed out that in this particular case, his problem was not with Federico Gutiérrez, but with Alejandro Char, his family and the political machinery they operated, in addition to mentioning the director of the U party, Dilian Francisca toro, former governor of Valle del Cauca.
