The presidential candidate stated in the interview that with Sunday’s elections Uribismo died in Colombia and that Petrismo will do so in the second round.

“The doctor Petro, as it has warehouses, it has a lot of people working on it, they have taken to saying that I am an Uribista and that I am Ubire 3. Those are lies, it is a way of taking votes away from me. (…) I think that, as some people say, On Sunday, Uribismo died. He died and we already buried himIt was a first class burial. I think that with that Petro-Uribe, Uribe-Petro polarization, fighting every day, we cannot concentrate on work,” he said.

He insisted again that he welcomes everyone who wants to, with open arms, but that under no circumstances is he going to change his speech.

Again, he stated that when voting, Colombians should decide whether to hand over the state checkbooks to Petro, Roy Barreras, Piedad Córdoba and Armando Benedetti or Rodolfo Hernández.
