Petro had already asked Rodolfo Hernández to meet because of the government’s alleged intentions against the May 29 elections, but the unexpected response of the former mayor of Bucaramanga sparked a “fight.”
Colombia News.
«After looking for me for an alliance, Petro begins to attack me when the polls show that I am the only one who can beat him in the second round. Look where the copper peels. I no longer serve you, Dr. Petro?”, the tweet by Rodolfo Hernández that sparked the controversy.
The mess on Twitter
There have been no known conversations either via WhatsApp messaging or phone calls, but there have been messages on Twitter, which has become a vital network in this campaign process for the May 29 elections. In colombia.
So now the fight is between two very active actors in the Little Blue Bird network, Petro and Hernández.
Petro, after denouncing in speeches in squares at the end of the campaign, denounced that a coup was being “forged”. He said they would switch to the national registrar.
Given the panorama, he called on two of the candidates to ‘close ranks’.
He asked Sergio Fajardo and Rodolfo Hernández for an “urgency meeting” to confront this supposed plan.
.@petrogustavo convene an emergency meeting @sergio_fajardo Already @ingrodolfohdez Monday. Democracy is at risk.

In this case, Fajardo responded that it was necessary to have more responsibility with what was said in the midst of this electoral process. And he did not attend the meeting with the leader of human Colombia.
Although this Monday, they saw each other personally in the Definitive Debate that at this time (8:49 pm) the magazine Semana is transmitting.
Rodolfo’s ‘no’ to Petro
While Hernández was more direct in his response to the request of the former mayor of Bogotá: «Gustavo: 1. The fire does not go out with gasoline. 2. It is irresponsible to assume nonexistent facts as true. 3. I am a victim of sheaves and I do not lend myself to making them».
Hours after this response, Petro would have responded directly.
“Even the millionaire who claims to fight corruption is a millionaire because he is corrupt. Let’s get it right. Even the one who says that he is not a Uribe supporter is a Uribe supporter. He drinks whiskeys and does business with his children, ”he said in the Plaza de Bolívar in Bogotá on Sunday and according to the media, that message was for Hernández.
New pulla for @ingrodolfohdez?

Petro has not said anything else, nor has he responded to Hernández’s question: “Now I’m not good for you, Dr. Petro?”
However, he did retweet one of the messages that the former Bumangués mayor is in the eye of the hurricane, about fracking.
This Monday, the candidate Hernández, has added a new statement: «Petro offered me the Vice Presidency and many other things».
Presidential candidate Rodolfo Hernández acknowledged that Gustavo Petro did offer him the vice presidency: “I have eaten five sancochos with him. He told me: ‘Rodolfo, you and I are invincible, I give you the vice presidency and you accompany me.'” pic.twitter.com/mETflXkKwn

All this fighting, for many, is part of a plan. A strategy. But for followers of the leader of Human Colombia, Hernández plays for “other interests.”
The “fight” that Petro is fighting with Rodolfo is fictitious, both have the same political adviser who is Beccassino, RH has already expressed his admiration for Petro dozens of times and his son poses proudly in photos with Francia Marquez
They are the same and there are many unwary who fall

So much so that they have sought each other and even alliances had been made. For this very reason, Petro, Fajardo and Rodolfo dedicated themselves to attacking me with so many lies for two months. While they attack me, I have dedicated myself to proposing.
They know we are going to win and that is why they have done this and have even gotten together.– Fico Gutierrez (@FicoGutierrez) May 23, 2022
Petro invites Rodolfo Hernández to defend democracy and he replies that the fire cannot be put out with gasoline. YES! Says the same one who slaps people up when they remind him that he and his son are corrupt because of the Vitalogic thing.
