As defined in the last elections, the representative of the Centro Esperanza Coalition will be Sergio Fajardo. The former governor of Antioquia in his process has given specific tasks to the movements and parties that are part of the alliance between them the New Liberalism, which this April 4 announced his contributions to the campaign. According to the party's director, Juan Manuel Galán, the way in which his co-supporters will support the presidential aspiration is part of the experience.
The plan they organized will have Galán at the head of the political work that Fajardo does in each region, his brother Carlos Fernando Galán will keep him at work in Bogotá; while journalist and former Senate candidate Mábel Lara will accompany Murillo on his tours around the country, on the other hand, analyst and internationalist Sandra Borda, will be at the forefront of the proposals and program issues, as well as working with other leaders of his party.
“This group knows perfectly well where we need to go, how to connect with people's needs, what we have to do is for the streets,” the presidential candidate highlighted on his social networks.
The politician has made it clear that the most important thing for him is not only to add votes, but that they come from sectors far from scandals and traditional characters that have harmed national politics, so the ratification of his alliance is a clear example of his ideas.
“The comeback is underway: we are going with all the strength of the center. Our teams are already organized throughout the country and we all pedal in unison to move to the second round. Attentive to the pace we are going to impose: unstoppable,” said the candidate.
Due to the principles that have since the beginning united the sectors of Centro Esperanza, Sergio Fajardo also recently spoke about the alliances that Ingrid Betancourt is building with Uribism and I accept that her participation in the alliance was more damaging than previously thought.
“You cannot unite this moment with the meaning of the continuity of a development model that has run out, and that does not have the proposals that the country needs. That kind of meeting doesn't make any sense to us in political terms. We don't do it. She can meet with whoever she wants and everyone talks about her,” noted the politician.
The candidate for President of the Republic also confessed that he believes that Ingrid hurt the Esperanza Center Coalition: “Of course, it's very clear. Today Humberto de la Calle cannot campaign with me because due to a rule due to a legal issue he cannot participate. So it's been harmful, no doubt.”
It is worth remembering that de la Calle, together with Daniel Carvalho, the only congressmen elected with the endorsement of Ingrid's party, three days ago expressed their disagreement with their approaches to Uribism, given that it goes against their convictions.
“As congressmen elected by the Green Oxygen party, we express our surprise and total disagreement with the recent statements. It is clearly incoherent to seek alliances with parties such as the Democratic Center. In this case, we are also emphatic in saying that the ideas of former President Uribe thoroughly contradict our convictions and vision of the country.”
