Encontronazo of the center and uribismo
For Sergio Fajardo, social networks have been used for the “anything goes” policy, of the “end justifies the means” and that type of extreme actions “sacrifices the truth and in turn democracy.”
Paloma Valencia, who was in opposition to the proposal, assured that “There is a change in the perception of the truth” and that “politics is not an exercise in true truths.” The senator assured that she “does not believe that someone will get up one day to say today I am going to lie to harm someone.”
Likewise, the former governor of Antioquia responded to the senator assuring that indeed “Lies by networks are thought”, there is a “polarization”, there are “wineries to harm (…) you who have political advisers – because I have never had a political adviser, so I don’t know – you know when you sit down and say today we are going to drop this lie.”
The senator responded by alleging Fajardo’s claims about the “center and the extremes.” “Sergio says that there are good sides and bad sides, I want to think that in Colombia we are all on the same side, we just think differently (…) Sergio believes that the only one who does politics well is him and that is a lie ”.
