This is not a one-day job, it is a work that we have been doing. They owed me the money and they paid me here (Honduras)”, affirmed the senator elected by the Historical Pact.

Regarding the controversy that arose and in which the Historical Pact has also been mentioned, the presidential candidate Gustavo Petro, who was present in a debate with Federico Gutiérrez and Sergio Fajardo in the last few hours, was asked about the situation of the elected senator who is being held in Honduras. The former mayor of Bogotá was emphatic in affirming that, “Piedad Córdoba is separated from the campaign, her judicial problems must be solved in justice, which is what will tell us what is there.”
And he added that, “she is the one to ask. I have no idea what could be the reason for that money, her purse, her suitcase ” . Let us remember that the presidential candidate a few weeks ago made the decision to remove her from the electoral campaign until she resolves her judicial problems, even in another recent debate, the candidate Federico Gutiérrez asked Petro if he would extradite her if required by justice. Americana, he answered, “Yes”.
