Katherine Miranda's ancient trills revive where she explained why she “divorced” Gustavo Petro

The accession of the representative to the House, Katherine Miranda, to the presidential campaign of Gustavo Petro, did not go unnoticed by public opinion. In the last few hours he was brought to light several of his old thoughts about the also leader of Human Colombia.

Miranda will enter to share the candidate's leadership of debate with Alfonso Prada; facts that were questioned from a sector of politics, which reminded Miranda that years ago she even claimed that Petro had embezzled Bogotá when she ruled her.

“Mayor's Office of Gustavo Petro made Bogota lose nearly 300 million dollars!” , Miranda said in June 2017.

And they were not the only trills that netizens dusted off from the representative of the Green Alliance. In the publications of the past by the most voted congressman in the House for Bogotá there are comments where he points out Petro as a macho, liar and even incoherent.

Well, all that controversy did not go unnoticed by the press either, which consulted her about her accession to the head of the Historical Pact and asked her why, until a few years ago, she questioned Petro so vehemently and now joined him in his third attempt to become president of Colombia.

“The truth is that we have never been friends of Gustavo Petro. In fact, we have not belonged to the same political movement or the same party, but just as Antanas Mockus did four years ago in the second round, which despite the enormous differences we have, we managed to accept the good things that the opponent has, as we have done so now,” said Katherine Miranda in dialogue with the BluRadio station.

Moreover, he highlighted the spirit of the progressive aspirant who leads all the voting intensions and said the reasons why he entrusted him not only with his vote, but also the opportunity to work with him in his career to succeed Iván Duque.

For now, Gustavo Petro has only thanked Congresswoman Verde for joining her candidacy but has not said anything about the controversial comments that her today co-party voted for him in previous years.

The Sunflower Party Congresswoman's announcement that she was joining Petro came in a video on her Twitter account, where she assured that, although she did not want to tell the country who she would vote for in the first round, the current situation led her to reveal her electoral interests.

“I had made the decision not to announce my vote, I had made the decision not to participate in the campaign. But the circumstances that today entangle all political campaigns, lies and betrayals force me to take a clear position in this election. My name is Katherine Miranda and I want Gustavo Petro to be my president,” Miranda said.

The candidate for the Historical Pact thanked his new head of debate and said that together they will make possible the change that Petro wants for the country. “Thank you Katherine, for your support and that of your electorate. I know that with you we are going to change Colombia for life,” said the candidate, who is currently leading the polls for the intention to vote for the presidency.
