Daniel Quintero, former mayor of Medell\u00edn and an aspiring candidate for the presidency in 2026, has publicly voiced his \u00a0discontent\u00a0 with the political coalition known as the \u00a0Historical Pact\u00a0. In a recent message through his X (formerly Twitter) account, Quintero indicated that his role within this coalition, which played a vital role in Gustavo Petro\u2019s election to the presidency in 2022, is currently uncertain.<\/p>\n

Quintero articulated his concerns regarding the \u00a0internal dynamics\u00a0 of the Historical Pact, asserting that several of his candidates have been excluded from the internal consultation process. He emphasized that a narrative is emerging, fueled by right-wing elements, aiming to marginalize his participation in the electoral contest.<\/p>\n

The former mayor raised alarms about the \u00a0ideological shift\u00a0 within the coalition, highlighting an exclusivity that, in his view, may inadvertently pave the way for the \u00a0right-wing\u00a0 to regain control. Quintero decried this internal strife as detrimental, suggesting it undermines key regional leadership and weakens efforts against criminal influences, subsequently diminishing the strength of emerging political projects.<\/p>\n

“My presence in the Historical Pact is not guaranteed. The Historical Pact has been taken by a myopic and sectarian left that seems more inclined to favor the right’s return to power, which can lead to more violence,”<\/strong> Quintero expressed through his social media platform.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, he condemned the exclusion of various candidates from the historical pact’s consultation, blaming it on an \u00a0exclusive leadership\u00a0 that operates within the coalition. Quintero asserted that right-wing forces are amplifying judicial strategies to hinder his presidential ambitions.<\/p>\n

“Several of our candidates have been excluded from the consultation, and that left of threads, the Soviet of Parkway, has also dedicated itself to amplifying the strategies of #lawfare structured by the right to get me out of the way to the presidency,”<\/strong> he stated plainly.<\/p>\n

Quintero emphasized that he perceives little distinction between the factions that are currently excluding him from the Historical Pact and his political opponents. He warned of the likelihood of changes in leadership within the coalition, asserting that \u00a0none are differentiated in their tactics\u00a0. “That left, which has become merely sectarian, will be reset from within or without,” he added.<\/p>\n

Quintero’s involvement in the Historical Pact is contentious among coalition members.<\/strong> Critics highlight his tenure as mayor of Medell\u00edn, specifically concerns about the \u00a0Aguas Vivas case\u00a0, which has drawn legal scrutiny alongside allegations of corruption involving past officials in his administration.<\/p>\n

Former Environment Minister and fellow presidential candidate Susana Muhamad has voiced her reservations about Quintero’s participation in the historical pact consultation. According to her, Quintero belongs to a different political faction and should seek affiliation within a \u00a0Broad Front\u00a0. She further cautioned that it is counterproductive for the Historical Pact to endorse a candidate embroiled in corruption charges.<\/p>\n

In light of these comments, Quintero retorted on X: “This candidate\u2019s only aim is to fragment the pact. She betrayed Petro in the Council of Ministers and is now attempting to do so against those committed to unification as a path to victory.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The list of presidential candidates within the Historical Pact has grown to nine, with the recent entry of Iv\u00e1n Cepeda. Other contenders include Carolina Cork, Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 Pizarro, Gloria Fl\u00f3rez, Al\u00ed Bant\u00fa, and Gloria In\u00e9s Ram\u00edrez, all vying for the coalition’s nomination. The internal rifts within the historical pact emphasize the \u00a0complexity\u00a0 of Colombian politics, as factions struggle to maintain a united front amid growing \u00a0tensions\u00a0 and challenges.<\/p>\n
