Presidential candidate Sergio Fajardo denounced the polarization between Petro and Uribe as Colombia's main problem in an interview with LA NACIÓN. He criticized the Paz Total policy and proposed fixes for Huila's security and the health crisis. Less than two months before elections, Fajardo stressed breaking the confrontation to progress.
Sergio Fajardo, former mayor of Medellín and governor of Antioquia, described political polarization as Colombia's biggest challenge in an LA NACIÓN interview. "The Huila department will advance if we break the Petro-Uribe confrontation," he stated, likening divisions to Paloma and Cepeda. He said this clash breeds fear, anger, and uncertainty, blocking solutions.
On Huila security, Fajardo called to end Paz Total, labeling it chaos for pulling the Army and enabling groups like Clan del Golfo and ELN to expand. He proposed bolstering public forces and fighting extortion plaguing rural and urban areas. "Without public force, peace cannot be built," he said.
For health, he plans a Presidential Command Post to gather EPS, hospitals, and pharmaceuticals, intervene Nueva EPS, and secure medicines in 100 days. He noted fiscal, energy crises, and corruption as other national issues.
At nearly 70, from Dignidad & Compromiso party, Fajardo views his campaign as David against Goliath, using digital strategy to reach Huila and greeting locals like Rodrigo Lara Sánchez.
