An Antioquia representative of the Liberal Party did not follow the instructions of the former president and director of that community, César Gaviria Trujillowho before voting on the positive presentation of that project warned his bench that there would be sanctions once morest those who supported it.
Is regarding Maria Eugenia Lopera Monsalvewho with his vote saved the “potatoes” to the national government with this reform, because with his “yes” the vote remained 10 votes to approve the positive paper -and thus continue with the discussion- and 8 to sink it, plus three congressmen who withdrew from the session (two from the Conservative and one from La U).
Lopera is a native of Antioquia and occupies one of the 17 seats that the department has as representation in Congress. She there she came she following obtain 87,733 votes in the 2022 legislative elections as running mate Senator Juan Diego Echavarria.
The political history of María Eugenia dates back to 2019 when she was elected as deputy from Antioquia with 45,104 votes. After two years in office, he resigned from his seat in the department’s Assembly in December 2021 to make the leap to the House. In that first foray into Congress, she became one of the most voted representatives in the country.
He is part of the political group of the powerful Julian Bedoyawho held positions as a deputy, representative to the Chamber, senator and now aspires to be governor of Antioquia.
In fact, Bedoya and Senator Juan Diego Echavarría, heir to his Senate seat, filled seats for Gustavo Petro during his presidential campaign last year. Between Bedoya and Echavarría, the power network of which Lopera is a part is strengthened, who resigned from the Assembly to compete under his blessing.
For now, the sanction that María Eugenia Lopera might receive is expected for ignoring the party’s directive not to vote for the health reform. In fact, in that community they speak of a sanction of up to three years without a voice or vote in the Congress of the Republic. It will dawn and we will see.
