Colombian Senator María Fernanda Cabal has publicly criticized former President Álvaro Uribe and cited a lack of appreciation as a key factor in her decision to leave the Centro Democrático party. Cabal alleges internal biases and undue influence within the party led to her being overlooked as a unified candidate. She stated Uribe “did not know how to value” her contributions. This decision marks a further fracture within the conservative Centro Democrático, a party Uribe founded and continues to heavily influence. Cabal’s departure signals potential shifts in the political landscape as she considers future alliances. The senator’s comments suggest a deepening personal and political disagreement with Uribe’s leadership. Further details regarding her future political endeavors are expected to be announced soon.
