“I think it’s time for the political class to let play with the absurdity that Petro is going to stay. Petro doesn’t have how to stay like this would like to stay. Times already indicate that Petro is practically an former president of the Republic. In less than six, seven months, the payroll is freezed, public spending is freezed to Petro and this country already enters a full campaign. The country enters into full campaign, ”said Lara.
“And I call on everyone who is, let’s say, starting in trees campaign flags, who look at Petro as a former president, de facto a former president, and to begin to think about what Colombia will need to solve The very serious problems that the next administration that happens to Petro will face, ”added the former congressman, arguing that in 2025 political alliances will be formed, there will be first approaches, but it will not be the president who seeks to cling to power.
“That Petro is going to stay, that it will be an inner shock. That is absurd. That is not serious. We have to be focused on what Colombia needs to solve its most important problems. The problem is that for that, candidates or politicians have to study, they have to elaborate proposals, they have to know in the background the problems of the country and that is naturally much more difficult to scare people with the ridiculous and grotesque story that the Mr. President will be in power alleging I do not know what kind of extraordinary faculties or what ghostly alliances with President X, with the regime Y, Z, ”said Lara.
“To be able to stay, he would have to present a legislative act project, which he logically does not have time to carry it forward. But if he could carry it forward, because he presented it basically a year ago, and is in process, because the Court completely closed the door so that there is re -election by legislative act. What would the president be left to stay? A coup d’etat? And with whom will this coup d’etat? Who will that coup d’etat with? With military forces? With police forces? Look, the call that I really make the Colombian political sectors is that they are serious, serious, that they stop scaring and manipulate people, ”said Lara.
“Petro has neither popular support, nor capacity, and I believe that in the background nor the will, because he likes to oppose than govern, to stay in power. The call is for us to think about the solution of the problems that Colombia faces today and those that will face, once, once Petro out of power comes out. This is going to be a year of campaign. This is going to be a pre -campaign year. What Petrosantism generally call is an attempt basically for a center candidate, in this case for example Claudia López, to aspire with the support of the government, with the support of Petro. But for that they have to overcome Petro’s reluctance to support Claudia, despite the fact that Claudia obviously would like to have Petro’s support. That is basically what comes right now, ”he accentuated.
President Petro will fulfill his four years of government in 2026 and leave power. However, despite this date, 2025 is a pre -election year and that is why there is already talk of who will happen in office.
