The former governor of Antioquia claimed that Tomás Uribe Moreno, son of former President Álvaro Uribe, pigeonholed him as the presidential candidate of Juan Manuel Santos. The Democratic Center, through a statement, insisted on that thesis.
The mention that Tomás Uribe Moreno, son of former president Álvaro Uribe Vélez, made in an interview in the magazine Week over the former governor of Antioquia, Sergio Fajardo, stirred up waters that seemed to be calm. “One day Fajardo is an independent candidate, the next day he is a candidate of the left, like two years ago. The next day he is Santos’ candidate ”, was one of Uribe Moreno’s comments.
Words that had a harsh response. Through his Twitter account, Fajardo hinted at what Uribe Moreno said as an attack and pointed out that it was just the beginning of the presidential campaign. “Every day it will be more necessary to get away from the extremes that do so much damage to the country,” he said.
References to the Tomás Uribe interview continued on Monday morning, and the leader of Compromiso Ciudadano por Colombia was more precise. “21 years ago we started on foot in Medellín, we did not receive any political inheritance from anyone and so we continue. We are not anyone’s candidates, we have our identity. Uribe and Santos enough. Let’s go for another chapter, ”he trilled.
In addition, he intervened in the debate that the so-called “political center” has taken over social networks. “I try to understand that we are in politics, in public, but spreading lies to eliminate those who think differently is regrettable. The center exists and you can live outside the extremes ”.

The matter did not stop there and the chapter motivated by what Uribe Moreno said in the aforementioned interview moved, again, but with a defense made from the Democratic Center. “He poses calmly and, when they put a microphone on him, all he does is speak against President Duque and former President Álvaro Uribe,” said the community in reference to the former governor of Antioquia and former presidential candidate in 2018, who has already expressed his intention to aspirate again.
In that sense, the Uribista party demanded the “help” that Fajardo would have obtained during his tenure as mayor of Medellín and as governor, and reminded him of his support for the government of Juan Manuel Santos. The Democratic Center, officially, insisted that Fajardo was Santos’ candidate.
“He supported the backward movement of Colombia in the Santos government, of whom he is now his candidate and of which former President Álvaro Uribe was an opponent. In the style of Santos, he places himself at the service of the socialist left, “the community said in a statement.
The truth is that, although he has always tried to distance himself from Uribism, Fajardo ends up being located by a part of public opinion as close to the former president’s political postulates, largely because of the defense of the “political center.” His phrase “neither uribista nor antiuribista” has been his proclamation almost since the beginning of his exercise in the political field, as a stone that supports his position of not being with any “extreme”, but has also given enough space for the alternative and left sectors send it to the right.
