Antonio Sanguino -Cual es la Posición para la segunda vuelta presidencial 29 de mayo 2018

Abstract

In the interview with Antonio Sanguino, the then senator-elect details the internal deliberations of the Green Alliance party regarding the second presidential round. Sanguino explains that the party seeks a collective and consensus decision that faithfully interprets the 4.6 million citizens who freely voted for Sergio Fajardo, clarifying that this electorate cannot be entrusted to anyone. When analyzing the campaign, he points out that the main strategic error of the Colombian Coalition was dispensing with a popular consultation on March 11, which forced it to perform a feat to come back. However, he celebrates that the result showed that the desire for change in the country does not belong exclusively to Gustavo Petro, and that the vote of opinion managed to defeat the clientelist and bureaucratic machines. Faced with the presidential dilemma, he defines Iván Duque's option as conservative and from the past. Regarding Petro, although he sees programmatic closeness, eventual support is conditioned on him withdrawing from the Constituent Assembly, clarifying that he will not resort to expropriations, defending the Constitution of '91 and fully supporting the Anti-Corruption Consultation. Finally, he indicates that to protect the future of the coalition facing 2019, it is healthy for each party to deliberate autonomously.
