why do you use a communist-linked "news" site as an informative website?
That cgtn is like Telesurtv
Colombia, a nation where elections are 100% ethical.
Right wing is dominating for the moment:
Senate Bulletin 26: with 88, 4% of the results, the Democratic Party leads the vote
The Democratic Center completed 2'229.855 votes, which is 16.62% of the vote. Radical Change follows with 1'825.768 (13.61%) and the Liberal Party, which has 1'667.805 votes (12.4%).
Álvaro Uribe, with 776,526 votes; Antanas Mockus, which reaches 489,905; and Jorge Robledo, 203,455, are the Senate candidates with the highest number of votes.
8:45 p. m. Bulletin 26 of the Chamber: the Democratic Center approaches the Liberal Party
With 89.3% of the tables informed, the Liberal Party has 2'196,698 votes, which is 16.6% of the results, reaching 35 seats. The Democratic Center is close to the first place with 2'145.762 (16.22%), which reaches 33 congressmen.
In the third place is Radical Change that completes 30 seats with 1'866.375 (14.1%).
My ex just hit me up this morning and said they wouldn't let her vote in Cucuta lol. Evidently they are pretty pissed.
because i wanted to show the contrast between their expectations and reality
Oh and she blames it all on Venezuelans who have flocked to her city, illegally. I couldn't imagine having an entire region banned from participation.
How gustavo petro and alianza verde did?
Iván Duque, of the Democratic Center, and Gustavo Petro, of the Colombia Humana movement, join the deck of presidential candidates for the first round of elections, after overcoming their respective interparty consultations in this Sunday's elections.
With 67.93% -70.18% scrutinized, Duque won the center-right consultation. It is followed by Marta Lucía Ramírez, with 25.58% percent, and in third place was Alejandro Ordóñez, with 6.47%.
Petro, for his part, emerged triumphant from the center-left consultation with 84.94% of the votes, which represent an important advantage over his contender, the former mayor of Santa Marta Carlos Caicedo, who reached 15.05% -with 70.23% scrutinised-.
post the link where i van see the results

i honestly want to see you colombianos starve to death until you kill all the narcos you garbage country.
Green Alliance achieves 1'075.809 votes (8.78%). Mauricio Toro, from the Green Alliance FIRST CONGRESSMAN WHO IS OPENLY HOMOSEXUAL FROM COLOMBIA.

Petro is beyond fucked. There's no way he'll win in segunda vuelta
> this flag
You have the 2nd highest inflation on earth and 30% of your population lives below the poverty line. Add to that 2 million indians from Bolivia and Peru. We're whiter than your country at this point
FARC is half US Special forces these days. They will win.
Funny you said that having venezuela as neighbor. How does it feels to have hordes of alien zombies socialist in your country my brown brother?
they withdrew their candidacy. There's literally no way for them to win. Honestly, I don't even understand why OP mentioned to start with when the real threat to this country is the Progressivist party. Yes, they disguise their true intentions under this buzzword
Colombia is the only uncucked country of the entire continent, the only real nation
>Considering centro democratico as right wing.
Never trust a centrist.
Never.
Guys, what is the actual deal there? From what my ex told me, there is one politician who created insurgents to battle FARC, but they have gone off the rails and are killing civilians. The other guy is threatening to do the same? It's tough to digest at times. She was barred from voting in Cucuta as they argued they couldn't tell who was Colombian or Venezuelan. She is making this seem like you are headed towards a civil war.
>we cannot take a stand in anything because we believe in nothing
what is centrist anyways? a pure bullshit party?
they define themselves as centrist, ut they're right wing in most aspects. They could make a republican in the us look lefty lol Cambio Radical and the conservative party are also right wing
They call themselves Centro because they want to appear as moderates, but they are considered extreme right by many
Yeah, she is overreacting. Some parts of your country are actually much more dangerous than this place m8, take care
>centrist they're right wing .Cambio Radical and the conservative party are also right wing
Dude if there isn't a right wing party in the country just say it, there is no shame since we all share the same fate.
>Cambio Radical = anarchist
>centrist = socialist
>conservatives = neo-liberals
>farc = commie -socialist
She lives in Bogota now, but was home for the elections. She was saying you guys shut down everything the night before elections. She is making it sound like the end of the world. She said she voted for Antanas Mockus.
Gustavo Petro, the major contender is from the Progressivist party. He defines himself as social democrat for fucks sake, but can't respond to the question: was Chavez a dictator?
Watch this, it's cringy how he keeps coming up with logical fallacies. The host even gets mad at him. It happened this week: youtube.com
If this dude wins, we'llmake Venezuela look like fucking Norway in Comparison
here you have a summary of Colombian parties by political orientation
>she voted for Antanas Mockus
To put it in perspective. If she were anAmerican citizen she would've voted for Sanders
>She was saying you guys shut down everything the night before elections
Bullshit. It's a 24 hour timespan in which stores cannot sell alcohol. This is to prevent abstentionism and potential sabotages during the elections. It's not like she couldn't get wasted at her apartment or go out with her friends to do something that didn't involve alcohol
Yeah, she mentioned alcohol actually. Well, when she was here in Boston, she was pretty pro-Obama, so it doesn't surprise me. She sensationalizes everything.
left wing party got less than 5%
Fuck off shill, Maduro, Hugo chavez and Cristina Kirchner are all the same socialist shit.
Gustavo Petro is not a far right, He is a socialist. Another shitty one.
>muh Las Americas ideology
pure smoke, the age of thinking and nationalism is dead in Las Americas. All the people are too far leftist degenerates motherfuckers
Full of broken homes and slave jobs.
That's what I'm telling you m8. Are you functionally illiterate by any chance? He's the biggest threat to our freedom. These populatist keep enchanting the lower classes with their discourse without giving an actual roadmap of how they plan to accomplish their Alice in Wonderland promises
Are your retarded? Where did anyone say that Petro was a far right candidate?
He's the center-left candidate as I said here:
>Los CONGOlombianos
llego el indigena de la selva
Alizan verde is center with an inclination for left, if you want to see a center candidate look at Fajardo and he has pay with a decline in pools because of that
what coalitions and party supportive of Petro were participating in for the senate and congress elections?
i want to see how petro's allies did but there isn't Colombia Humana lists in the results, so, where they are?
>Alizan verde is center with an inclination for left
They're """""social democrats"""" which is just a stupid buzzword that screams LEFT and degenerate SJWs
His party appears as """""Decentes""""". imagine that ffs
The example of Venezuela for sure is very helpful for Colombian and Latin American elections.
No doubt about it.
Even then, the polls are showing a Chavez sympathizer as the leading candidate by a small margin. There's people who literally don't read or think it is impossible for us to reach that level. They might have a point, but why even try it?
only 4 seats in the senate and 2 for the congress.
why polls are saying petro is popular? primaries for his coalition barely did 9,6%, while the right wing had 16,74%
primaries for presidential candidates are a good sample of the first round?
>Petrochenko
>6 years
>2.8M votes
>Duque Nukem
>6 months
>4M
WE'VE GOT THIS
"DECENTS" BTFO
