According to the political party, there is a false tweet supposedly from the president congratulating the engineer on his result in the presidential elections

The The Democratic Center, the political party of current President Iván Duque and former President Álvaro Uribe, denounced throughout the morning of this Monday, May 30, that they are being victims of false publications. The community indicated that an alleged trill by its leader Álvaro Uribe is circulating on social networks, congratulating Rodolfo Hernández for the results obtained in the first round of the presidential elections and indicating that they had already scheduled an appointment.
In the false trill, supposedly made by Uribe’s official account, the leader of the Democratic Center indicated that the candidate of the League of Anticorruption Governors was the necessary solution for the country:
“I have just congratulated Ing. Hernández for his victory in this first round. We have already scheduled a dialogue meeting to guarantee that he is our future president, the one that Colombia needs so much.”
Regarding the false publication, which began to circulate after the final results of the pre-count were known, the Democratic Center indicated “Colombians, let us not get entangled with lies and a dirty campaign. The defense of democracy is our priority, which is why our fight to guarantee the freedoms of all Colombians is more alive than ever.”.
The presidential candidate of the Anti-Corruption Governors League, Rodolfo Hernández, was the big surprise in the presidential elections, going to the second round with almost six million votes. The former mayor of Bucaramanga placed himself on the political radar thanks to a speech that called himself independent and against corruption.
For this reason and for the large electorate, many sectors are beginning to flirt with the particular septuagenarian. One of these cases is that of former presidential candidate Federico Gutiérrez, who pointed out:
“I want to publicly express that we do not want to lose the country and we are not going to put the future of Colombia at risk, that is why Rodrigo and I will vote, in the second round, for Rodolfo Hernández and Marelen Castillo on June 19. We are not and will never be indifferent to the future of the country.”
The trills of Paloma Valencia and María Fernanda Cabal
Despite the recent trill denying the false information about Uribe’s support for Rodolfo Hernández, some senators from the Democratic Center expressed their support in the second round for the former mayor of Bucaramanga.“We congratulate the engineer @ingrodolfohdez for his great vote. We will support his purpose of fighting corruption and defeating Petro”, indicated Paloma Valencia.
Meanwhile, Congresswoman María Fernanda Cabal indicated that the triumph of Engineer Rodolfo represents an advance for the national territory, “Rodolfo’s triumph is the triumph against the establishment. The country needs changes, not the suicide that Petro offers, but authority, order and the prosperity offered by a businessman like @ingrodolfohdez”.
The big question mark during these three weeks will be whether an eventual support from the traditional sectors, and more than one as questioned in public opinion as Uribism, will harm the campaign of the former mayor of Bucaramanga in his aspiration to arrive at the Casa de Nariño.
For now, you can perceive the moderation in the speech of engineer Hernández, who is no longer pointing to the “rogue politicians” who were against him, but, on the contrary, he is in an attitude of ‘union’. “As always, I welcome any support anyone wants to offer, but my only alliance is with the Colombian people.”.
