Since Sunday night Federico Fico Gutierrez was the most consistent presidential contender for Colombia. This isn't his first time appearing in an electoral roll. He was previously a mayor and councilor in Medellin. His first test during a national election in which he got more than two million votes from the Team for Colombia coalition, made him the preferred candidate of conservative groups. Fico (Medellin 47 years old) or as he's popularly known, is, from last night and right now the most prominent opposition to Gustavo Petro, who with the Historic Pact movement was one of the main winners on the day of the election that established who would become the representatives of the three most important political forces.

The presidential election has only started. Whether Medellin's former mayor can be the true anti-porrismo force will be contingent on the alliances are formed and the talks which he engages in. He'll need to not only unify the entire right but also conquer a small portion of the centre electorate that has been shattered on Sunday. To do this, he will have to keep avoiding, exactly like he has done with AlvaroUribe, in the same image. Today, for only the second time in 20 years it is clear that the support for Uribism rather than adding might be a negative. "Federico Gutierrez faces a dilemma. https://www.laopinion.com.co/elecciones-2022/vamos-garantizar-el-orden-fico-gutierrez He needs to join the Democratic Center, Uribe’s political party. But, he has to convince the center that it can decide where it would like to move," Yann Basset (an analyst and professor at the University of Rosario) says.

Fico, which is a coalition partner with the CD where uribism is concentrated has made its first victory on the way to an alliance. Oscar Ivan Zuluaga (the former presidential candidate) left the stage and admitted his limited chances of competing with his. He expressed his assistance. Now, we'll see whether the entire Uribismo that was not able to form a single candidate is in support of the candidate. Uribe is expected to accept his support and attempt to convince his voters with the old questions of Colombian right. This will not prove difficult. Already, his speech about "security", order" opportunities, and the love of our country has shown that Uribe is gaining votes. As he did during his appointment as Antioquia's mayor and he confirmed this with the election consultation. He stated, "The bandits were either dead or in prison," while he was visiting Arauca, a region which is particularly susceptible to violence. Fico is aware of what the Colombian right wing is a fan of, but it will not suffice for Fico.

Fico Gutierrez Basset said that "We're not in the years when the fear from the left had worked," and that the electorate is not influenced by the fear this time. Basset's analyst suggests that Fico could not be granted Uribe's blessing due to the fact Alvaro Uribe has been stripped of his entire leadership role since 2002 when Uribe was elected president. The vote of Uribismo are still important to Gutierrez. https://www.elcolombiano.com/colombia/dos-candidatos-antioquenos-lograron-certificar-sus-firmas-para-la-presidencia-BF16313200 Uribism also contributed to the victory. Basset warns now that his capability in negotiations will be measured. Andres Méjia Vergnaud reflects on the relationship between the former Fico president and Fico. https://www.eltiempo.com/elecciones-2022/presidencia/federico-gutierrez-hablo-de-sus-propuestas-en-el-debate-presidencial-658392 He says that Federico Gutierrez wants Uribismo votes but not Uribe pictures because it's not the right thing for him to be his own candidate.

Gustavo Petro is left-leaning, and Gustavo Petro is right-leaning. However, Fico - if he can reach a compromise and persuade Gustavo Petro to support him. Rodolfo who ran as an independent and is still in the race. Gutierrez should include on his list of candidates the former mayor Bucaramanga, a billionaire builder who managed to score well in polls because of his speech against corruption in a humorous voice.

Gutierrez will have a lot to talk about before thinking about possible formulas for the presidency. https://www.portafolio.co/elecciones-2022/discurso-fico-gutierrez-tras-ganar-coalicion-de-equipo-por-colombia-562882 But, what Gutierrez does have is the trust and cooperation of other candidates on the Team for Colombia presidency. It's not a small number of people. Two ex-mayors Enrique Penalosa (Bogota), Alex Char (Barranquilla) as his companions; David Barguil (leader of the Conservative Party) and Aydee Zarazo (a Christian party member who votes according to church orders.

In addition to the more powerful Conservative Party (which won the largest vote among right-wing forces for Congress, with more than two million votes) Additionally, it enjoys the support and sympathy of U Party, which had an outstanding vote at the legislative with just under 1 million votes. Oscar Ivan Zuluaga was there to support Fico. He did not leave Sunday's elections without taking the time to deny his defeat in order to stay clear of a fight for votes of those on the left. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federico_Gutiérrez This provides Fico some momentum in a particular area of conservatism. https://thebogotapost.com/fico-eyes-colombias-presidency-an-interview-with-pre-candidate-federico-gutierrez/49519/ However, this also shields him from votes that could come from the centre. What former president Alvaro Uribe says, who invited his party to a gathering on Tuesday is the most important information needed to decide if Fico is willing to risk his position to be a center-right candidate by being the Uribe's blessing.
