Although the presidential candidate Rodolfo Hernandez tried to find an agreement with Sergio Fajardo and his team for the second presidential round, that possibility was damaged.
This was confirmed by the engineer from the city of Medellín, where he went to watch the match between Atlético Nacional and Atlético Bucaramanga at the Atanasio Girardot stadium.
“It was a courtesy that I wanted to do, but that is over, they want to change the entire program that won. Since our program won, we have to make ourselves respected because it is backed by six million Colombians who voted in favor of the program that we present,” he said in a statement he gave to Noticias Caracol.
