In his second presidential candidacy, Sergio Fajardo did not enter the second round, in 2018 he voted blank and now he has announced that he will not support either Petro or Rodolfo Hernández.
Colombia News.
A whole political controversy has generated Sergio Fajardo, former candidate for the Presidency and one of the leaders of the so-called Coalition of Hope, by pointing out that “I will not vote for Petro”, but neither will I vote for Rodolfo Hernández, that is, again, no goes with none of the candidates seeking to be president.
Although Fajardo did not even reach a million votes on May 29, he is a relevant figure in Colombian politics.
His opinion and his position against the two candidates who went to the second round, “is important for a certain sector of the country,” experts point out.
For this reason, despite the already added support that the campaigns of the Historical Pact and the Anticorruption League have, that of the former governor of Antioquia was one of the most anticipated after the day of May 29.
He told them: “Everyone make their campaign.”

Everything was unleashed this weekend, when according to Hernández, Fajardo had “demanded” changes to adhere to his campaign and for that reason, he was not interested in that support if he was thus conditioned. The former candidate responded.
According to Fajardo, they made a proposal to improve the programmatic plan to the engineer, but he did not accept.
This relationship that seemed the least problematic of the entire campaign, and that many thought would end in an alliance before the elections or even more so, after the vote, ended in ‘divorce’ before it began.

The leader of the so-called ‘fajardismo’ has received all sorts of insults, ridicule and claims.
He has decided to respond, at least on Twitter to one or another message, especially if they are affectionate: «In the midst of unleashed wineries, insults and aggression, a loving hug always feels good. Happy week”.
Petro’s thing
Perhaps because of his visions of “a change in the country” and leaving behind the so-called machines and the “usual”, many thought that Fajardo would go with Petro. Not so, at least publicly.
He has made it clear a few hours ago that he will not vote for the leader of the so-called ‘Human Colombia’. The presidential candidate on the left responded that he would have supported it.
If the citizens had chosen Sergio Fajardo and RH for the second round, without a doubt, almost without thinking about it, they would have decided for Fajardo. The ego does not blind me to know how to choose between corruption and decency.

In this sense, Fajardo said that he would later explain “clearly” why he will vote for neither.
Camilo Romero, former presidential candidate and former governor of the Valley, for his part reminded Fajardo of the proposal made seven months ago: “Get all the alternatives together, or tell me, how are we going to win?”
“7 months ago we told @sergio_fajardo that he had our vote if he was the one who went to the second round, but we asked for the same guarantee from him. We cannot stay in hatred and resentment. Let’s repair and move Colombia forward!” wrote Romero.
Petro vs Rodolfo
Meanwhile, the two candidates who are vying to reach the House of Nariño to lead Colombia for four years continue to throw ‘pullas’ at each other to win votes.
According to the former mayor of Bucaramanga, the leftist leader “is more of the same”, of what he calls the country’s politicking.
#LaCorrupcionPetrista it is to make Colombians believe that they are the change, when the same ones continue to govern with the same ones.
— Ing Rodolfo Hernandez ??! (@ingrodolfohdez) June 6, 2022
I am the presidential candidate who has gone the furthest with the fewest commitments in history. Petro, on the other hand, has made deals with everyone he’s ever criticized to get to where he is. #RodolfoPresidente
— Ing Rodolfo Hernandez ??! (@ingrodolfohdez) June 6, 2022
The accusations of corruption are mutual, Petro retweets complaints against Rodolfo, documents that reveal his alleged corruption and that of his family.
That’s how they spend it.
Neither I, nor my children, nor my wife have companies outside the country, much less in tax havens. For 30 years, I have been the one who has denounced the main acts of corruption in Colombia. The change is to remove the corrupt from power. Don’t choose them. https://t.co/AHn2bAD5G4

The dilemma of those who do not know who to vote for
The second electoral round is coming in Colombia, it will be in two weeks, winners of the election of this May 29, together they exceeded 14 million votes.
Petro and his formula Francia Márquez took out 40.32%; 8,527,768, Hernández and his vice-presidential candidate, Marelen Castillo, obtained 28.15% for 5,953,209
Every hour the votes move, those who continue with Rodolfo, those who don’t, those who will vote for Petro; or blank, and vice versa.
To that dilemma in which they are million voters in the countryhe is only fueled in large part, with fights on social networks.
That he “represents the corrupt class” of Colombia, one said to the other, the other replied that “he is crazy”, that the government plan is copied, that the proposals “are only populist”, that here and there.
Statements and messages come and go.
