“We are in a scenario marked by the fear of Petro and the hatred of Uribe”: Enrique Gómez called not to “squat” in the elections

Enrique Gómez Martínez is one of the candidates for the presidency of Colombia. He is the son of Enrique Gómez Hurtado, politician of the Colombian Conservative Party. Gomez is currently the spokesperson, legal representative of the National Salvation Movement and a candidate for that party.

What he has said is that he advocates a comprehensive reform of justice, to reduce the number of obstacles and guarantees excesses, as well as an economic shock plan that includes the reduction of regulations and the procedures for creating a company. In several of his pronouncements on social networks he has made clear his position on various issues such as education, subsidies, polarization of the country and more.

“Álvaro Gómez and his political legacy does not inspire, it guides us. Ethics and morals are still indispensable and Álvaro Gómez did 50 years of politics without a single blemish and that's how we want to get there,” he said on Twitter.

He added that “we must allow microentrepreneurs to be able to agree on flexible minimum wages below the tax. Flexibility will open the door to achieving more jobs. It is possible to achieve development, we need to get out of outdated models.”

He has also said on his social networks that he proposes “that during the first three years of his venture's existence the microentrepreneur should not have to declare income. It will only do so at the end of the third year and with a simplified declaration. Solid proposals, which can be fulfilled, based on reality”.

“We must end the compulsory registration of Chambers of Commerce and make it a voluntary requirement. The process of bureaucratization for small and medium-sized entrepreneurs must be eliminated, it costs a lot and does not generate more jobs,” said Gómez with regard to entrepreneurs and future entrepreneurs.

He also highlights his position on subsidies in his social networks: “One of the most addictive substances of our time, and one of the most harmful: SUBSIDIES”.

It is noteworthy that Gómez told El HERALDO that:

And he said that, if he becomes president, he will take away from the ICBF the child nutrition program from zero to five years to hand it over to the EPS. “That program should be in the hands of nutritionist experts who tell mothers to use welfare and stop being dishonorable,” he told that media outlet.

The candidate said on Twitter what he thinks about education in the country “there is a lot of talk about the promotion of books but not about education: 82% of children in public schools fail the Saber Test and good education does not wait. Only by educating well will there be more readers and this will result in the growth of the publishing industry.”

Finally, the candidate said on Twitter that “you have to stop squattling, you can't continue to vote out of fear. We have to vote for real ideas and proposals, if it were for the subject of surveys, we would never have done this exercise. Our thing is good politics, without fear, from the conservative right.”

He said this because currently for him, according to what he told El Heraldo: “We are in a campaign scenario marked by fear of Petro and hatred of Uribe. People aren't even thinking, they almost don't even listen and I understand that many don't want to vote for me because they're scared, but the massive message I get is that they connect with me because I say things as they are.”
