The “Creemos” political faction, associated with former presidential candidate Federico “Fico” Gutiérrez, has formally declared itself a governing party in Colombia. This move solidifies support for the current administration, following a similar announcement by the Centro Democrático party the previous day. The “Creemos” movement had previously indicated its alignment with Gutiérrez’s legal counsel before the legislative elections. This decision effectively expands the government’s coalition base in Congress. The announcements signal a strengthening of political alliances within the Colombian government. Analysts suggest this consolidation aims to bolster legislative support for President Petro’s agenda. The news was first reported by La Silla Vacía.
