The 50 billion that is stolen each year deprives young people of access to education. It is stealing money from art, culture, sports, it is leaving inadequate roads so that the peasants cannot get their products #FranceInRíoSeco #FranceTheViceOfChange #VamosAVivirTasty pic.twitter.com/N3OOGB7xte

The candidate, an environmental leader from Suárez, Cauca, is touring the country to carry the message of “change represented by Gustavo Petro and the Historical Pact.”
The promises are to fight corruption, serve the less favored communities, protect social leaders, bet on the peace process and the so-called ‘historic debt’.

It has been a weekend with a tight agenda for the presidential campaigns, the ones that are moving the most in the country, those of Petro, Federico ‘Fico’ Gutiérrez, Sergio Fajardo.
For example, on Saturday, the former Paisa mayor who has received controversial support such as that of César Gaviria and part of the Liberal Party or who has had support from leaders of the Democratic Center, was in the Amazon.
He promised “not to leave them alone” and told them about the investment he will make, if he is president.
We will invest more than $1 billion in protected areas and the Amazon rainforest will be a priority: payments for environmental services, payments for ecological restoration, will be some of the green economy projects that will allow us to rebuild the areas. #FicoProposes

Hours before, a significant number of members of Veterans for Colombia and the Active Reserve of the military forces had joined his campaign.
The leader of the Centro Esperanza Coalition, Fajardo, is also touring the Colombian Caribbean.
He was in Santa Marta, Carmen de Bolívar and in Galapa, Atlántico, in the latter municipality, highlighting the work of the artisans.
Between 2022 and 2026 we are going to create 1.5 million decent jobs. From the public sector about 440 thousand with large infrastructure and social projects that prioritize unskilled labor, women, youth and ethnic communities.

However, the former mayor of Medellín also denounced that his campaign has suffered attacks. Some of the vehicles that carry their logos and messages have been scratched and even damaged in Cauca and one of the billboards disappeared in Medellín.
Enough of continuing to attack the violence that comes from one extreme and justifying the one that comes from the other, just because it represents “change.” Well, I refuse to continue in a country where those who think differently are not respected #ChangeIfButNotSo https://t.co/a8cWg3jMbs
