Ernesto Samper soutient Iván Cepeda pour l'élection présidentielle

L'ancien président Ernesto Samper a confirmé son soutien au sénateur Iván Cepeda le 13 mai. Cet appui intervient à l'approche du scrutin du 31 mai. Samper a mis l'accent sur des enjeux tels que la paix et l'inclusion sociale.

Samper a eu une conversation de près de 17 minutes avec Cepeda au cours de laquelle ils ont analysé les défis du pays. Il a déclaré que la Colombie doit choisir entre approfondir le changement ou revenir à l'ancien modèle néolibéral.

L'ancien président a défendu la Juridiction spéciale pour la paix comme un outil essentiel. Il a souligné que le pays compte 10 millions de victimes et que des progrès vers la réconciliation sont nécessaires.

Cepeda, membre du Pacte historique, vise à conserver le soutien que Gustavo Petro a reçu en 2022 dans des régions comme le Valle del Cauca. Là-bas, Petro avait obtenu 53,34 % des voix au premier tour.
