Fico Gutierrez and the possibility of recognizing himself as "Uribe's candidate"
https://federicogutierrez.com/ has been the most reliable presidential candidate of the Colombian right since Sunday night. While it's not the first time that his name is on an electoral document - in fact, he was a councilor and mayor of Medellin and his first attempt in a national election, where he achieved more than two million votes within the Team for Colombia coalition, they place him as a desired candidate of the conservative movements or those who feel scared by the thought of the possibility of a leftist president. Fico (47-year old Fico) is the main opponent of Gustavo Petro. The Historic Pact movement, as well as Gustavo Petro, was one the winners of the last night's elections which determined who will represent the three main political parties.

He won't just have to unite all the right under his banner, but he will also have to conquer some of the centrist electorate that appeared to be disintegrated and lacking remarkable leadership. To accomplish this, he will have to remain adamant, just as he does so far with AlvaroUribe, in the same image. https://www.instagram.com/ficogutierrez/ for uribism is the first in the last 20 years. Instead of adding, it could subtract. "Federico Gutierrez faces a dilemma. He needs to be a part of the Democratic Center, Uribe’s political party. However, he also has to convince the center that it can determine where it will go," Yann Basset (an analyst and professor at the University of Rosario) says.
Fico is on its journey to join forces with the CD, the heart of uribism as of Monday Fico already has its first win. Oscar Ivan Zuluaga was the candidate for the party's presidential bid. Now we will have to wait and see if the Uribismo collective that is without a representative, does the same. Uribe is likely to support his candidate in public and convince his voters by presenting the classic issues of the Colombian left. This shouldn't be a problem for him. The speech he delivered of "security", "order", "opportunities" and "love of the fatherland" has already shown him that he has the ability to increase votes. He confirmed this with the electoral consult, just as previously in the Antioquia mayor's office. When he visited Arauca in Colombia, which is one of the most violent regions Fico stated that "the bandits were in prison" or "in a grave". https://colombia.as.com/actualidad/elecciones-colombia-2022-quien-es-federico-gutierrez-ganador-del-equipo-por-colombia-n/ is well-versed in the Colombian legal system, but this will not suffice.
"We are not in the year 2018, when the fear of the left worked well, this time, the voters are not influenced by fear," Basset points out. Basset's analyst suggests that Fico could not be granted Uribe's blessing due to the fact Alvaro Uribe has lost his leadership position since 2002 when he was elected president. The vote of Uribismo remain important to Gutierrez. Uribism was also a factor in this win. https://www.eluniversal.com.co/politica/conozca-a-fico-gutierrez-candidato-de-equipo-por-colombia-a-la-presidencia-AX6257332 warns that his abilities as a negotiator are going be limited. "To persuade the right not to spend everything on this alliance, is his goal." Andres Méjia Vergnaud reflects on the relationship between Fico's former president and Fico. He states that Federico Gutierrez wants Uribismo votes but not Uribe photographs because it's not the right thing for him to be his candidate.
Gustavo Petro, the leader of the left is the only person that can be a leader, but Gustavo Petro, the leader of the right, is still heading for the presidency. Unless Fico – again, if this is possible - convinces him not to step out and join him. Rodolfo Hernandez is still running despite having launched his campaign independently. Gutierrez will be able to boast many accomplishments to include the ex-mayor of Bucaramanga who is a builder and millionaire.
Gutierrez will have a lot to discuss before he begins thinking about potential presidential formula names. However, what Gutierrez does have is the trust and cooperation of the other candidates for the Team for Colombia presidency. https://www.lafm.com.co/secretos-la-fm/centro-democratico-dividido-entre-fico-gutierrez-y-alex-char-para-la-consulta 's not a small amount. Two former mayors, Enrique Penalosa in Bogota and Alex Char in Barranquilla, are also with him. David Barguil is the leader of the Conservative party. Aydee Lizarazo is a Christian party woman who votes according to the instructions of her church's lectern.
Alongside the stronger Conservative Party (which won the most votes of right-wing groups for Congress by more than two millions votes) It also enjoys the support and sympathy of the U Party, which had an outstanding vote at the legislative level, with less than a million votes. Oscar Ivan Zuluaga's backing, who did not let the Sunday's elections be lost and thereby avert his defeat before a potential contest for votes from the right gives Fico the boost he needs in a section of conservatism but also distances him from any votes that could come from the center. The announcement of Alvaro Uribe, the former president, who called his party to a meeting on Tuesday, will decide if Fico will sacrifice his chances in the center to openly proclaim himself to be the blessed Uribe.
