MADRID, 22 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Gustavo Petro, candidate of the Historical Pact, has warned this Saturday that “they plan to suspend the elections” in Colombia, during his closing of the electoral campaign in Barranquilla.
“I call on all the political campaigns (…) to be on alert. I call them to meet on Monday because on Tuesday they plan to hit the elections next Sunday, May 29. They plan to suspend the elections, they plan to suspend the bodies that direct the electoral regime in Colombia”, warned the Historical Pact candidate in his closing ceremony before 40,000 people, as reported by ‘El Espectador’.
Petro began its closing campaign on Thursday in Cali, on Friday it was in Medellín, this Saturday in Barranquilla and on Sunday it will have two concentrations to end: one in Zipaquirá and another in Plaza de Bolívar, in Bogotá.
For his part, the national registrar Alexander Vega has given a press conference in which he has assured that he guarantees that there will be no fraud in the presidential elections on May 29 in Colombia.
The surveys carried out by Guarumo and EcoAnalítica show a technical tie between the candidates of the Historical Pact and Team for Colombia, Gustavo Petro and Federico ‘Fico’ Gutiérrez, respectively, in the second round of the Colombian presidential elections.
The study, collected by the newspaper ‘El Tiempo’, grants 37.9 percent to Petro in the first round, ahead of ‘Fico’, who would obtain a little less than 30 percent. Behind them are the anti-corruption candidate Rodolfo Hernández, with 20.3 percent, and Sergio Fajardo, from the Centro Esperanza Coalition, with 4.3 percent.
