He fracking It mixes 4,000 chemicals to explode the rocks at the pressure of water and sand and that water goes through some aquifers, and seeps into rivers, and those rivers are the ones that Colombians drink from. “
Immediately afterwards, the opponent challenged Paloma Valencia: “I challenge Senator Paloma Valencia, who wants to be president of the Republic, to have a glass of water with oil; if it does, I am able to reconsider my opposition to fracking, and if she doesn’t, then at least I challenge her to have a glass of pure water “.

On the other hand, the senator from La Decencia sent a message to Senator Amanda González: “You are a senator for Casanare, you have double responsibility. It is the department that produces the most oil.”
And he finished: “I challenge you two, what a glass you want to drink.” For now, neither of the two senators has responded.
