Federico Fico Gutierrez has been the most solid president-elect of the Colombian in the last few days, starting on Sunday night. While it's not the first time his name is on an electoral document - in fact, he was a councilor and mayor of Medellin the city he was elected to represent - but his first time in a national election, where he achieved more than two million votes inside the Team for Colombia coalition, they have him listed as a desired candidate of the conservative groups or those who are frightened when they think of a leftist presidency. https://forbes.co/2021/11/25/precandidatos-presidenciales/es-increible-ver-el-obstaculo-que-le-han-puesto-a-hidroituango-de-manera-irresponsable/ Fico (47-year old Fico) is the main opposition to Gustavo Petro. The Historic Pact movement, as well as Gustavo Petro, was one the winners of the election last night which determined who will represent the three main political parties.
The presidential campaign is just beginning and the future of the former mayor of Medellin will hinge on the alliances he builds and the talks he gets into. He will have to not only unite the entire right, but also win over a small portion of the center electorate which has been shattered on Sunday. He would have to avoid his record of far, being in the same photo with Alvaro Uribe. For the first time in the past 20 years, open support for uribism may instead of subtract. "Federico Gutierrez faces a dilemma. He is required to create an alliance with Uribe's Democratic Center (CD), but he also has convince Uribe's central.
Fico's first conquest was made this week as it began to form an alliance with CD which is in which uribism is a prime target. Fico Gutierrez Oscar Ivan Zuluaga (the former presidential candidate) stepped aside and acknowledged the fact that he has no chance of competing with him. https://colombia.as.com/actualidad/elecciones-colombia-2022-quien-es-federico-gutierrez-ganador-del-equipo-por-colombia-n/ He expressed his support. https://www.elpais.com.co/politica/fico-gutierrez-candidato-de-la-coalicion-equipo-por-colombia-sera-la-nueva-cara-del-uribismo.html Now we will have to see if the entire Uribismo group who is without a representation, does the same. Especially in the event that Uribe declares his support publicly and tries to convince voters of the traditional issues of the Colombian right, something that should not be a problem for Uribe. https://forbes.co/2021/11/25/precandidatos-presidenciales/es-increible-ver-el-obstaculo-que-le-han-puesto-a-hidroituango-de-manera-irresponsable/ He already proved that he can increase votes by his remarks on "security"," "order", and "love for the country of his fathers". Like he did during his time in Antioquia's mayor's office He confirmed it in the electoral consultation. While on a recent trip to Arauca which has been particularly hard hit by violence, he stated that the bandits are either in jail or in graves. Fico knows well what the Colombian right likes however it won't suffice for Fico.
Basset says, "We aren’t in 2018 when the fear of left did well." https://www.eluniversal.com.co/politica/conozca-a-fico-gutierrez-candidato-de-equipo-por-colombia-a-la-presidencia-AX6257332 According to the analyst it is evident that the profile of Alvaro Uribe is not one of the leaders that the nation had in 2002 in the year he was elected president for the first time, and that his own party known as the CD has been through a bad moment, could make Fico be unable to receive at the very least, Uribe's support. This does not mean that Uribismo's votes, even if they fall below the table are not important to Gutierrez. http://www.elnuevosiglo.com.co/articulos/12-09-2021-federico-gutierrez-entrego-1400000-firmas-para-avalar-su-candidatura-la In the case this Sunday, or when he tried to gain access to Medellin's mayor's post, Uribe supported Gutierrez even though he was the candidate for the party. Uribism is also responsible for this win in the coalition. Basset warns now that his capability in negotiations will be measured. Andres Mesjia Vergnaud analyst commenting on Fico's ties with former president Uribe: "The great difficulty of Federico Gutierrez’s desire for the votes of Uribismo without the image of Uribe as it does not suit him to become his presidential candidate."
Gustavo Petro is left-leaning, however, Gustavo Petro is right-leaning. However, Fico - if he can reach a compromise to convince Gustavo Petro to support him. Rodolfo Sanchez, who ran on his own, is still in the race. Former mayor of Bucaramanga builter and millionaire, who been able to present himself well in the polls thanks to his anti-corruption speech with a humorous tone is one of the candidates Gutierrez should add to his list of accomplishments should he decide to put up the fight to petrismo.
Gutierrez is likely to have lots to negotiate before he thinks about potential formulas for the presidency. However what Gutierrez has is the trust and cooperation of the other candidates for the Team for Colombia presidency. It's not too much. Two ex-mayors Enrique Penalosa(Bogota) and Alex Char (Barranquilla), are with him. David Barguil, the chief of the party and the founder of the Conservative party, is in the same room with Aydee Zarazo, Aydee Lizarazo from a Christian Party who usually is a spokesman for his church's rules.
Alongside the stronger Conservative Party (which won the most votes of right-wing groups for Congress and more than two million votes) Additionally, it has the sympathy and support of U Party, which had an outstanding vote at the legislature, winning just under one million votes. The backing of Oscar Ivan Zuluaga, who did not let many hours go by after the elections on Sunday in order to accept his defeat in the event of a potential confrontation with the votes of the right will give Fico an opportunity to gain momentum in a sector of conservatism and swayed him a little more from votes that could be cast from the middle. Alvaro Uribe (ex-President) summoned his party to a gathering on Monday, to see whether Fico might risk his chances of being a center-right candidate as a result of being publicly felicitated by Uribe.
