Rodolfo Hernandez and his surprising opinion about Gustavo Petro

The engineer from Santander expressed an unexpected feeling about his political rival in the fight for the presidency of Colombia

The presidential candidate Rodolfo Hernández, so far, is not usually the most prominent in the polls showing the citizens' intention to vote. However, it is now the third with the most options to reach Casa de Nariño, according to the most recent survey carried out by the news program CM&.

The leader in the polls for several weeks is the candidate of the Historical Pact Gustavo Petro with his vice-presidential formula Francia Márquez with 34% favorability compared to 23% by Federico Gutiérrez and Rodrigo Lara Sánchez.

Hernández, for his part, managed to rise, according to the poll, to 12% within the Colombian voting intention. To date, it is the most recent survey, which was conducted between April 4 and 7.

However, Rodolfo, the former mayor of Bucaramanga, has been showing himself to be one of the most technical when it comes to talking about figures and statistics on the country's economy, and he has also said that you cannot govern with people who have never produced or have knowledge of.

The Bumanguese engineer and businessman has been touring some areas of the country, announcing his proposals for being president of Colombia, which, so far, has been bringing him good results as he was above the intention to vote by Sergio Fajardo, who spoke of a “comeback” in the polls a few days ago, something he has not happened for now.

The race to reach the most important position in Colombia has been consolidated between attacks, sometimes of a personal nature, among candidates through social networks or during meetings in scheduled debates where they publicize their government proposals and plans.

However, this time Rodolfo Hernández took away the criticism of Gustavo Petro and instead defended, in a certain way, some notorious comments that have aroused against Petro, taking a reputation for wanting to expropriate Colombians on an eventual arrival in the presidency.

Rodolfo assured that if Petro arrives at Casa de Nariño he does not leave the country:

At the same time, he acknowledged that Petro could have made a better mayor's office when he was in charge of Bogotá and said that seeking to be objective in the face of recognition of what is right and wrong. He also commented that “the bad guys have to be taken out quickly, without livers”.

Hernández will continue with his intention of being the president of the Colombians, but he still has to convince a large part of the citizens to vote for him. We must remember that there is less and less time left for candidates to campaign, since May 29 is the first round of the elections and it will practically be defined who will be the president or will go to the second round in June.
