“That my companions in the Pact should not shoot me… but Germán Vargas Lleras could be a great Mayor for Bogotá. Objectivity and balance in judgments must take precedence over antipathy. (It would be necessary to see if someone injects him with social sensitivity and a pinch of humanity),” Barreras wrote, citing a column by Vargas Lleras.
In his column, the former vice president strongly questioned the mobility crisis in the capital, which he described as “hell.”
“We live through hell when trying to get out of or into the city. It doesn’t matter which route is chosen, the traffic jams are making people think twice before deciding to take the road. The only journey to get out of Bogotá takes time elderly than the displacement to the place of destination ”, says a section of the text.
