Hollman Morris - Como conseguir votos para llegar a la Presidencia (Gustavo Petro) 28 de mayo 2018

Abstract

In an interview, Hollman Morris analyzes the results of the first round of the presidential election. As a representative of Gustavo Petro, he explains that the Colombia Humana campaign seeks to consolidate a national consensus government by attracting independent and alternative forces. Faced with the mathematical challenge of securing more than two million votes for the second round, Morris indicates that contacts have already been initiated with sectors of the Colombia Coalition (Green Alliance and Democratic Pole) and the Liberal Party, represented by Sergio Fajardo and Humberto de la Calle. The common ground for this convergence revolves around preserving the peace agreement, the fight against corruption, free higher education, and reforms in healthcare and land ownership. Finally, Morris highlights the electoral performance in Bogotá, where the combined votes of Fajardo and Petro decisively defeated the traditional political machines of Radical Change and the Liberal Party. He argues that this alliance is viable and historic due to the shared origins of the progressive movement and the Green Party.
