Federico Fico Gutierrez has been the most stable president-elect of the Colombian right since Sunday night. It's not the first time his name appears on an electoral ballot. In fact, he was the mayor and councilor of Medellin. It was his first national vote. The Team for Colombia coalition won more than two-million votes. They consider him to be a candidate for the right-wing movements. Fico (47-year old Fico) is the primary opponent of Gustavo Petro. The Historic Pact movement, as well as Gustavo Petro, was one the winners of the last night's elections that established who would be the main political forces.
The presidential campaign is only beginning. The question of whether the former mayor of Medellin is the real anti-porrismo force depends on the alliances and negotiations which he develops in the coming days. He'll have to unite the right, and also win over the center electorate, which was weak and lacking a strong leader on Sunday. https://www.instagram.com/ficogutierrez/ will need to keep his distance from the previous president Alvaro Urbine, something that he has not done previously. For https://twitter.com/ficogutierrez in 20 years, open support for uribism could rather than subtract. "Federico Gutierrez faces a dilemma. He must form an alliance with Uribe's Democratic Center (CD), but he also has convince Uribe's central.
On the way to joining forces with the CD in the region which is where uribism is the most prevalent issue on Monday, Fico has already achieved its first conquest. The candidate of that party on Monday, the former presidential aspirant Oscar Ivan Zuluaga, took the initiative to step back, acknowledged the few opportunities to compete with him and provided his support. We will now see if the entire Uribismo collective - which is without a representative elected follows suit. Uribe is likely to publicly support his candidate and convince his electorate through his presentation of the issues that make up the Colombian left. This should not be an issue for Uribe. His speech of "security", "order", "opportunities" and "love of the country" already demonstrated that he has the ability to increase votes. https://thebogotapost.com/fico-eyes-colombias-presidency-an-intervi... was confirmed by the consultation on elections, as he did in the past in the Antioquia mayor's office. In a recent trip to Arauca (an area which has been particularly impacted by violence), he stated "The bandits are either in prison or in graves." https://zonacero.com/politica/fico-gutierrez-llama-la-union-fajardo... knows what Colombian rights like, but that won't be enough.
Basset says that we are not in the year 2018 when fear of a Left was effective. "This time, the electorate does not feel fear." Analysts say that Fico could not be granted Uribe's blessing because Alvaro Uribe has lost his leadership position from 2002, when he was elected president. However, this doesn't mean that Uribismo's opinions, even if they do not match the criteria don't matter to Gutierrez. As was https://www.laopinion.com.co/elecciones-2022/vamos-garantizar-el-or... , or in his attempt to reach Medellin's mayor's office, Uribe supported Gutierrez even when he was the presidential candidate for the party. Uribism is also the reason for this win in the coalition. Basset warns that now his ability as negotiator is going be constrained. "To persuade the right to not spend everything on the alliance, will be his measure." Andres Mesjia Vergnaud, an analyst commenting on Fico's ties with former president Uribe: "The great difficulty of Federico Gutierrez's wish to get the votes of Uribismo but without the photo of Uribe as it does not suit him to become his candidate."
On https://www.lafm.com.co/secretos-la-fm/centro-democratico-dividido-... there is only one leader, Gustavo Petro, on the right, there's an individual who is heading for the presidential election until Fico is able to negotiate, or if he manages to negotiate - convinces him to resign and offer him support. Rodolfo, who ran independently and is still in the race. The former mayor of Bucaramanga who is a builder and millionaire, who has been able to present himself well in the polls thanks to his anti-corruption speech in a light-hearted language is one of the candidates Gutierrez must include in his list of achievements in order to win the fight to petrismo.
Gutierrez is likely to have lots to discuss before he begins thinking about potential formulas for the presidency. However, what Gutierrez has is the support and cooperation of other candidates on the Team for Colombia presidency. It is not little. Two former mayors Enrique Penalosa(Bogota), and Alex Char (Barranquilla), are at his side. David Barguil, the leader and the founder of the Conservative party, is with Aydee Zarazo. https://www.eltiempo.com/elecciones-2022/presidencia/federico-gutie... from a Christian Party, who frequently is a spokesman for his church's orders.
The Conservative Party was strengthened, and it won the largest right-wing vote of over 2 million votes. The Conservative Party also enjoys the support of the U Party. This party had an outstanding legislative vote, with just over 1 million votes. Oscar Ivan Zuluaga's backing, who refused to let the election of Sunday pass by and thereby avert his loss before a possible contest for votes from the right gives Fico the boost he needs in the conservative wing but it also keeps him away from possible votes from within the center. According to Alvaro Uribe, former president, Fico will have to decide if he's willing to take a risk in the center to have the chance to be blessed by Uribe.
