“Perhaps one of the most prominent people in the defense of human rights in Colombia and also internationally. It is very important for me to receive it because it is a symbol of unity, a symbol of the Colombia that we want to build for all, for the victims,” Gutiérrez said, announcing Negret's support.

His role in the campaign will be to be “human rights coordinator”, in a search for Gutiérrez and his vice-presidential formula Rodrigo Lara Sánchez to approach, as Negret explained, “the political sectors and citizens we find in the defense of human rights, regions, natural resources and democracy, the central agenda of the country”.

Negret said he accepted the invitation to be part of the campaign because he acknowledged the work of the two candidates. “I accept it, because I recognize in them two political leaders with three principles that in my opinion are essential to governing this country: empathy, teamwork and tolerance. I also accept it because of my personal and political commitment to pluralism,” he said.

“The prosperous, just, peaceful and stable future that we dream of for Colombia, we are not going to achieve but is through dialogue among different people; looking for opportunities in differences and promoting mutual understanding as a goal to resolve so many unresolved conflicts,” added Negret.
