Rodolfo Hernández says that the debate is “an unnecessary waste of money”

In the document where the Colombian presidential candidate of the Anti-Corruption Governors League, Rodolfo Hernandezaccepts the debate with his electoral rival, Gustavo Petroof the Historical Pact, there is a part that refers to the costs for carrying out said discussion between them.

The debate was an order of the Superior Court of Bogotá and although at first the engineer had said that he would not attend these spaces, this Thursday morning he ended up accepting and raising some conditions.

Among them stands out the question that the candidate asks himself about “who will pay for the expenses of the transmission that can only be done” by the Colombian National Radio Television Public Media System (RTVC).

“I suppose that you,” Rodolfo tells Petro, “will use your multimillion-dollar resources as pertinent, because on my part I will not allocate a single peso, because I also consider that it is an unnecessary waste of money.”

The engineer also told his rival that “it is up to you to pay your guardians the travel expenses and other expenses because they, the SIX, must attend, yes or yes, because otherwise we would be in contempt due to a serious violation of his fundamental right that served as the basis for the magistrates who mostly adopted the decision.”

The Petro campaign appointed Alfonso Prada, head of the candidate’s debate, to process issues such as agreeing on the rules of the game with the engineer’s delegates of the debate based on the conditions proposed by the former mayor of Bucaramanga.
