Petro throws double hint at candidate Federico Gutiérrez

On May 29, Colombia will define the future president or candidates who will be elected to contest the second round of the presidential election. Among the candidates most likely to win or eventually reach a runoff are the leader of the Historical Pact Gustavo Petro and the representative of the Team for Colombia coalition Federico Gutiérrez.

Petro recently took a hint to Federico Gutiérrez where he hinted that he was President Duque's candidate, also that he was going to lose the election but would give him the senator's office he is currently occupying, without first forgetting that he arrives at a 'decent office'.

In the first instance, Gustavo Petro would point out the direct relationship between Uribism and Fico's campaign, although Fico decided to join with Lara, who is apparently a Green Party figure, constant comments and political ties make the alliance between Gutiérrez and the Democratic Center evident.

Another hint from the leader of the Historical Pact was that he told Gutiérrez that he would leave him 'his senator's office', this as a reference to the Opposition Statute, which states that the second presidential candidate with the most votes has the right to a seat in the senate, just as the vice president has the right to occupy a seat in the House of Representatives. In short, Gustavo Petro said he was going to be the winner of the next election.

Finally, he pointed out that it is a 'decent office', referring to the controversial Gustavo Villegas, who was an official close to Federico's mayor's office in Medellín, but he was also pointed out by the authorities as an important collaborator of the Envigado Office, a criminal group responsible for trafficking and murder by order among other crimes.

The senator called on the alert to supporters and collaborators to be aware of the origin of the money that comes in as a donation to support his presidential candidacy

Less than two months after the presidential elections and the candidates who will go to the second round are known to reach the Casa de Nariño and lead the country for the next four years, the different movements, coalitions and parties are running to reach the largest number of Colombians with their proposals. In the midst of this juncture, when financial support and donations continue to come in for politicians to continue their journeys, Gustavo Petro expressed his concern: they are looking for ways to leak drug-trafficking money into their finances, according to him.

The candidate for the Historical Pact made the serious complaint through his social networks, where he also took the opportunity to ask his campaign committees and his followers to be aware of the money being handled in the campaign, since, allegedly, this plan would be carried out from some prisons in the country.

“We have information about a plan drawn up from prisons to infiltrate my campaign with money from drug trafficking. Maximum attention to all municipal committees, money will only be raised in national management and for loans from the financial system,” the presidential candidate wrote on his Twitter account.
