Gustavo Petro broke the silence about Ángela María Robledo: “Nobody wants him to leave Colombia Humana”

“Angela María Robledo is a valuable and democratic woman,” said former presidential candidate Gustavo Petro on Tuesday through his Twitter account. The leader of Colombia Humana assured that together with Robledo they lived a “magical campaign” and expressed that he is within his right to run for president in 2022.

The senator insisted that Robledo had to accept be the candidate of Colombia Humana for the Mayor of Bogotá in 2019, instead of Holman Morris.

For Petro, “Nobody wants Angela María Robledo to leave Colombia Humana and all spaces are open to her, if her wish is another political project, no one should criticize her for choosing that path”.

For her part, the representative to the House Ángela María Robledo again expressed today that she has been subjected to mistreatment by the movement that leads Petrism.

“I have been talking about political violence for a week and the response has been more political violence. With force I endure, because above it is the project of the country: the lives of millions of people. I believe in unity, but I am not willing to endure more abuse “Robledo trilled.

Likewise, he responded to Gustavo Petro pointing out that the campaign with him was magical and historical.

Ángela María Robledo would leave Human Colombia and return to the Green Party

In the 2018 presidential election, Ángela María Robledo was vice-presidential formula of Gustavo Petro. That decision cost him harsh criticism from his original political party, Alianza Verde, as he left the seat he had in the Chamber to accompany the Human Colombia project.

After two years of the electoral defeat, Robledo confirmed in an interview with La W, that the Green Party invited her to submit to a consultation with other applicants to elect a single candidate for the Presidency for that community for the 2022 elections.

The congresswoman not only left open the possibility of that happening, but also, revealed details of his distancing from Human Colombia and Petrism.

Angela María Robledo told El Espectador that this distancing with Petro began in the 2019 regional elections for not wanting to support Holman Morris for Mayor of Bogotá, and in change, yes, make a programmatic agreement with the current mayor Claudia López.

“In the Green they did not mistreat me as much as in Colombia Humana when I didn’t support Hollman Morris. Claudia came out very strong, but I remembered what working with her as a senator and mine as a representative to the House had been, the number of initiatives that we were able to work together, especially in what was anti-corruption, “Robledo told the Colombian newspaper.

In that same interview, the representative to the Chamber stated that within Petrism she does not see the possibility of her being seen as a presidential candidate. It states, for example, that the Patriotic Union has already decided on Gustavo Petro to be its presidential candidate in 2022.

Robledo told El Espectador, who receives a systematic attack from social networks while in Colombia Humana:

It has been a systematic attack on those wineries and they call me ‘neo-feminist’. The position has been very strong, although not from everyone because there are also people there who love me very much. Nor was there a possibility of making a consultation in Human Colombia, the proposal has come from the green.

Faced with the proposal made by El Verde, the congresswoman seems excited to be a presidential candidate for that party for the 2022 elections, along with Iván Marulanda and Antonio Sanguino.

“They have made a proposal to me to return to the Green Alliance Party and participate in the presidential candidacies. Various organizations also invited me to start a grassroots organizing task with women. There are two ways and I am thinking about both “Robledo wrote on his Twitter account.
