“Urgent national convention”
Losada mentioned that the party is currently completely illegal and accused former president Gaviria of violating the law by explaining that the deadline to convene the convention expired in October 2022.
“The national liberal convention must be cited at once because we cannot continue illegally, once the convention is called, each one has to see what their political perspective will be, if they believe that there should be a renewal of the party, if ex-president Gaviria should continue, if there should be a single leadership headed by another person, or if there should be a collegiate leadership” he pointed out.

“Well, I think that this issue was overcome in a first stage for that reason, we as spokespersons, 4 spokespersons of the House of Representatives we ask former President Gaviria to urgently make the bench to send a message of unity and settle all the controversies we have, since there are representatives with different opinions and conceptions, which is valid,” he said.
The congressman highlighted that it results from the meeting will be the path that the Liberal Party must take.
“Here the decisions are not made by a director or a representative, they are taken on the bench, the statutes and regulations say so and we must be respectful”, he indicated.
