The candidate Gustavo Petro assured in a video this Saturday that Colombia will decide next Sunday in the second presidential round whether it wants to “keep moving forward or backward”, in a decision “that will determine our future and that of our families”.
“This decision isn’t about choosing between the last name Petro or Hernández, it’s about something much transcendent, it’s about the Colombia we want. If we want to keep going back or forward; whether we continue in the past, in the inequality of women, or move forward together towards their rights,” the candidate assured in a message published on his social networks.
The candidate also warned: “You have two candidates in front of you: one has fought corruption all his life, the other is accused of corruption. You decide,” referring to the criminal proceedings against Hernández for alleged bribes in a garbage collection contract when he was mayor of Bucaramanga.
The Historic Pact candidate also announced: “I will ask the Pfizer company for an explanation about its intervention in the presidential campaign. That is not allowed in Colombia. Using women who are paid in the US violates US legal standards,” referring to the Miami yacht party last year where several young women were attended by his contender. , Rodolfo Hernández and two of their children, speaking of alleged Pfizer “lobbyists,” which the company denied.
