But undoubtedly in the U party, the anconsultation attitude of the Governor of the Valley departed the waters. It was not necessary to prevent the voice of the complete society because since the COP16, the Government helped the governor of the Valley to carry out the ValleCucanian society. The class instinct of class on the general interest took the heart. Too bad the world of Vallecaucano is left without governor “, President Petro said in one of his trills through his account in X.
