The co-president of the Alianza Verde party, Antonio Navarro Wolff referred to the need to add several sectors in a candidacy to win the presidency, but this would occur in the second round. In dialogue with Caracol Radio, the former senator said that the votes of the center and the Green Alliance can play a key role in the elections.
Navarro told the station that if a good result is achieved in the first round, joining forces and alliances could be considered to bring an alternative government to power. “Nobody wins in the first round in Colombia because politics is very dispersed”Said one of the three presidents of one of the largest alternative caucus in Congress.
Then he said that they are looking for a different person than those who have been governor and that is why the Coalition of Hope proposes an alternative, “a government of change.” It was precisely he, along with Antanas Mockus, who spoke out this week, communicating that for them the best option for change is in the center coalition and not in the Historical Pact.
In a letter signed by them, the two of them took a stand and said that they would have nothing to contribute to the left coalition. “As co-chairs of the PAV, we reiterate the need and the will to unite the center and the center-left in the Coalition of Hope, as a collective, programmatic and inclusive option.“politicians point out.
They assure that the Green Party has the vocation of government to defeat traditional and corrupt politics, and that the current polarization uses indignation and fear, so that Colombia cannot access the best political alternatives.
“In the current scenario, there is already an alliance that represents left-wing thinking, that is the Historical Pact. We would contribute little new by joining it“, they point out.
Both Mockus and Wolf emphasize that it is necessary to consolidate the center with its various options. “That is the historical role of our Green Alliance in this period. We will fight to be one of the two groups with the most votes in the first round and represent the alternative forces in the second round, where it is essential to all come togethers “they insist.
Faced with this letter, which could greatly influence the future decision made by the community, the candidate Sergio Fajardo assured: “The Green Alliance is crucial to building the true political center of Colombia. This statement by Antanas Mockus and Antonio Navarro is a sign of good sense and seriousness. We are going to change Colombia with the Coalition of Hope “.
For Juanita Goebertus, in dialogue with this medium, the crisis the party is in is due to the fact that both views “believe that we have a real alternative to go from the first to the second round. There is no decision here, what there is are the expressions, on the one hand, of President Carlos Ramón, with a group of other people such as Camilo Romero, Inti Asprilla, Katherine Miranda, insisting that there be freedom for them to support the Historical Pact and others. with Antanas Mockus and Antonio Navarro that we want the party to make a decision and be towards the center ”.
The congresswoman said that in front of the Historical Pact and about Gustavo Petro particularly “I am concerned about his economic proposals, the possibility of reconciling us in his government because he felt that his speech is constantly divided between the others and what he represents and what he does not marry. with him, he is a bit his enemy. But he was talking about the institutionality, there had already been several proposals and points of view that worry me, such as that he said that in Colombia there was no democracy”.
