The pronouncement of former senator Álvaro Uribe was given through his Twitter account, this Thursday, hours after the interview that Sergio Fajardo gave with the newspaper El Tiempo, where he spoke of his presidential aspirations, ruled out alliances with political “extremes” and even dared to predict that in 2022 the history of the Democratic Center will end, which has “ruled practically this entire century.”
That is why the former president put a message to Fajardo in which he recounted how participation in politics has been, in the last 20 years, of the man who today appears as his main contradictor for the presidential elections.
“He has governed 8 (years) in Antioquia and Medellín; 4 more with his mayoral candidate, and 8 in the Presidency with Santos and the FARC, “wrote Uribe, whose conclusion is that” Dr. Fajardo is Santos’s presidential candidate for the 22nd. “
Dr. Sergio Fajardo during the 20 years of this century:
He has governed 8 in Antioquia and Medellín;
4 more with his mayoral candidate;
And 8 in the Presidency with Santos and Farc;
Dr Fajardo is Santos’ presidential candidate for the 22nd

Uribe’s onslaught has to do with the statements made by Fajardo in an interview with El Tiempo, where he assured that due to the political environment that is prevailing in the country today He has no doubts “that in 2022 there will be a change in the leadership of the Colombian State.”
“The chapter of the Democratic Center, which has governed practically all this century, has been in power and all the people who have been in the presidency have been associated with the Democratic Center, headed by former president Álvaro Uribe, who has been the person that has led them, is closing now, “said Fajardo, a statement that prompted the pronouncement of the former senator and leader of the ruling party.
The fact that Uribe has decided to answer Fajardo and be aware of his statements can be interpreted as an alert against the possible consolidation of the “center” movement, which today is led by the former Antioquia governor and presidential candidate.
Does Uribe see Fajardo as a threat to the 2022 presidential elections?
The question arises from a comment made by journalist Darcy Quinn, on the Caracol Radio program ‘6AM Hoy por Hoy’, who said that if Uribe came out to relate Fajardo as Santos’ candidate it was “trying to polarize the issue.”
Also, Quinn believes that “If that ‘center’ is consolidated, it will be the real threat to the Democratic Center”, mainly in his aspiration to stay four more years with the Presidency.
