This Friday it was shown that former prosecutor Jésus Iván Cárdenas, the man who tried to annoy a Federico Gutiérrez press conference during the week, is a follower of the presidential candidate, Gustavo Petro.
At least, the lawyer Cárdenas appeared at the Book Fair in Corferias, in Bogotá, and took a picture with the left-wing candidate, who signed him his book ‘One life, many lives’ that the leader of the Historical Pact wrote at the beginning of 2022 but that he socialized this Friday with his followers.
It should be remembered that Cárdenas mingled with the journalists participating in a press conference, and although the escorts tried to stop him because he is not a communicator, the presidential candidate authorized their entry.
In the midst of the tumult of reporters, the former prosecutor, almost on the floor, asked: “Doctor Federico, what do you have to say that while Claudia Carrasquilla was investigating Gustavo Villegas (former security secretary of Fico in the Medellín Mayor’s Office), you invited all the prosecutors of this unit to Medellin with payment of tickets and with payment of all expenses. What is that?” he questioned.

Fico Gutiérrez replied that it was not true. The curious thing is that Cárdenas was not alone. That day he came with another man who recorded it as he asked the question, which supposed to several of the communicators that it was a plan to annoy the former mayor of Medellín.
As soon as he asked the question and recorded the scene Cárdenas left, but this Friday he appeared smiling, posing next to Petro and with the left-wing candidate’s book in his hands.
Did Cárdenas act alone or was he sent by the Petrista campaign? Is the question being asked this Friday by Federico Gutiérrez’s campaign.
