Gustavo Petro elections 2022: Petro came out ahead after polls and left suspense due to a surprising alliance | 6AM Today by Today
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

On the other hand, he mentioned that it is interesting to see that “In Internet indicators, Rodolfo Hernández is surpassing Federico Gutiérrez”.
In addition to this, the candidate said that the campaign “has been dirty” once morest him and France Marquez. Also, he mentioned racism and classism once morest her.
surveys
“After March 13 there are two surveys and the trend is that we grow, we are the only ones who grow. The distance with the second is getting higher, that is the number one rule that must be taken into account when analyzing the polls: the distance between the first and the second, which is getting bigger.
All the polls show the Uribista candidate, Federico Gutiérrez, in second place. This has its logic, it has the power of the Government and a part of the population that continues to support Uribe’s project. The one who appears to us as the third, and approaching the second, is Mr. Rodolfo Hernández. There is an interesting dispute there. Unfortunately, the fourth place is produced by a phenomenon of suicide and self-destruction, I hope that the Esperanza Center can be reborn, it was badly beaten by members of the Center itself. It is interesting to see that Mr. Rodolfo Hernández is sometimes above Uribe’s candidate; it is an indication of the internet.
According to the survey of the National Consulting Center, the same pollster, the greatest growth is in the first place and the distance with the second is increasing every time. The infographic may be poorly done and perhaps they are reactions from the networks to other covers, but the information is true. The trends say that, that we are growing and the distance with the second is wider in favor”.
criticism of surveys
“From pods they take me out on the cover of Semana, once they took me out as if I were an arsonist due to the social outbreak that Carrasquilla caused, they were already throwing the duck at me. What seems terrible to me is the insult to the statistics, because recognizing that the survey is well done, I don’t want to modify it, what the statistics say is that we have to look at the trend. If you have two polls, look what happened: if it grows, if it falls, if it stays the same… If you do that, the headline is completely different: the distance between the first and the second is getting bigger.”
Win in the first round
“Our goal is to win, it doesn’t matter if it’s in the first round. If we grow, we get closer. After March 13 we grew regarding 4.5. The first place is getting closer to 50%, but that depends on the population. The dirty campaign is very strong once morest me and once morest France, racist, classist, very harsh… They say that I am going to expropriate the taxi, the pensions; what I have proposed is that pensions grow with the minimum wage and not with inflation, I have proposed that the drivers own the taxis”.
alliances
“Colombian politics is assigned to machismo, the entire national culture, there are centuries and millennia of thinking in terms of the dominance of men over women. Changing that is not overnight, but it must be changed. We started conversations with him set of political and social forces in Colombia, there I proposed that the revitalization of peace and the idea of returning to a great peace might be the cement that might join diverse forces. For this reason we have been talking with various sectors, in a few minutes we achieved a convergence with part of the Green Party. We are close (tomorrow) to one that is going to give us something to talk regarding and that is going to give us a majority in the House of Representatives”
gradual increase
As the 2021-2022 school year progressed at the UABJO, together with the professional exams, the practices were allowed to be in person once more, but it was last Friday when this Faculty officially began to receive students in classrooms, with a no more than 15 people per group.
“The activities in a hybrid, virtual and face-to-face manner took place from April 1, we have all the practices of the basic subjects and gradually other subjects have been incorporated,” explains the director of the Faculty of Medicine, Luis Manuel Sánchez Navarro, who estimates that as of April 17, the number of teachers who join will increase.
Among the theoretical subjects that are beginning to be organized to be taken in person is that of research methodology and statistics taught by Dr. Sheila Aguilar Jiménez.
As a teacher, she admits that it was possible to have some comfort when teaching a class speaking to a computer camera, but that virtuality cut the bond between the students to verify if they really learn.
“From the screen it is impossible to see the faces of my 31 students. The only way to move how they move their face and mouth, one already knows if they know or not, that is one of the inconveniences”, recognizes a teacher who calculates that until the next school year it will be possible to resume face-to-face attendance at one hundred percent of the classes.

Congolese bishops urge priests with children to take care of them
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Since the beginning of the year, evasive press releases making public the dismissal of Congolese priests from the clerical state have attracted attention: nearly a dozen in a few months, coming from several of the 48 dioceses. The last, at the end of March, excluding three priests from the Tshumbe diocese, in the center of DR-Congo, had intrigued a lot. The quests for information encountered a wall of silence.
A 19-page internal document, written by the National Episcopal Conference of Congo (Cenco) and dated March 4, asking parent priests to renounce their priesthood to take care of their children might be one of the explanations.
An official internal document
The document examined by the bishops during their Plenary Assembly in March and titled “At the school of Jesus Christ. For an authentic priestly life”, intended to “break the silence” on this painful experience. It was not made public outside the clerical milieu.
The Congolese bishops express their sorrow for ” to certify “ only priests “do not lead an authentic priestly life”. They emphasize “the incompatibility of the office of father with the ministry and the priestly life in the Roman Catholic system” and insist on the need for these priests to adopt “responsible behavior towards children born to a woman and a priest”. They invite them to “deal with it completely and to do so seek dispensation from priestly obligations from the Holy Father”.
In the event that the priest in question is not ready to give up the cassock, the document asks the bishop to “present the case to the Holy See for the maximum penalty of dismissal from the clerical state”.
Associations of children of priests
The Congolese bishops recall that in many countries in the world, there are associations of children of priests. They “aim to bring out of anonymity and psychologically help the many people born of a relationship between a woman and a priest”.
For them, it is now time to do justice to the women and children who are victims of these situations and forced to live in hiding: “They ask for recognition and support. » In Congolese society, these children are considered “fruits of sin”.

“Exhorting and persuading are no longer enough, these attitudes make it difficult to amend the culprits and sow confusion and scandal among the faithful”, he insists. That is why “the priest who begets children needs both mercy and reproof from the Church”.
Celibacy and chastity
The Congolese bishops also praise the virtues of celibacy and believe that “many priests” faithfully live out their priestly commitments and that their testimony edifies the people of God.
They point out, however, that celibacy is tested by several factors including “the inclination or instinctual impulses that must be educated; the sexual freedom movement that is globalizing and does not leave the Church intact”but also “the cultural heaviness in certain environments which do not know any taboos on the sexual level and which require sanitation” and “material poverty or misery that does not favor the practice of virtues”.
A link with the Pope’s trip?
This document was sent to the Congolese priests on March 4, the day following the official announcement of the trip of the pope francis in DR-Congo from July 2 to 5. Should we see a link? One thing is certain: since the beginning of his pontificate, Pope Francis has made the fight once morest abuses of all kinds in the Church one of his great battles.
While he was Archbishop of Buenos Aires, he had already expressed himself on the question in an interview book with Rabbi Abraham Skorka, entitled On earth as in heaven (1). “If a priest comes to me and tells me that he has made a woman pregnant, I gradually make him understand that natural law takes precedence over his rights as a priest, he explained there. Consequently, he must leave the ministry and take charge of the child, even if he decides not to marry the woman. Because if he has the right to have a mother, the child also has the right to have a father with a face. »
