Social networks are the ring where politicians measure their strength. Today an exchange of trills has the relevance that parliamentary debates or diatribes in the press had. In the last hours the mayor of Medellín Daniel Quintero and his predecessor and former presidential candidate, Federico Gutierrezthey went out into the ring to bring their political and ideological discrepancies back to the air.
It was Gutiérrez who opened the discussion by publishing a trill in which he reconnects the alleged corruption scandals that hit the mayor of Cali Jorge Ivan Ospina with the complaints that have been made about the management of the current head of La Alpujarra: “We hope that, in the same way that they are putting a magnifying glass on the disastrous and corrupt Mayor of Ospina in Cali, they also do so with the office of Quintero in Medellin “.

With almost eight thousand seven hundred likes, Gutiérrez’s publication obviously did not go unnoticed. Within hours, Quintero responded in a tone that left friendliness behind. “Federico, my administration has been the most revised in history. Your folks can’t take a look, ”the mayor said.
The message did not stop there: it reminded Gutiérrez of the news that aroused controversy in his four years in office: the capture of Gustavo Villegahis security secretary and the question of Hidroituango, the workhorse of Quintero. However, many Internet users have judged Quintero’s closing trill to be classy: he sent Gutiérrez to sell popsicles.

One of the first politicians to react was the former Commissioner for Peace, Giovanni Camillo Restrepo. In Quintero he spoke loudly: “His was not the most reviewed, his was the most questioned, the most rejected by the citizens and in which we hope that @FiscaliaCol will soon produce a result”.
From another political side, the deputy from Antioquia for the Dignity party, Luis Pelaez, also deployed battery against Quintero. “Quintero, your administration is the most disastrous and denounced in history. This year he has already accumulated 42 days of temporary suspension, “he wrote.

Taking advantage of the false start of the final part of Quintero’s trill, Gutiérrez is back in the fray: “All my respect for those who with a lot of effort sell popsicles on the street and honestly raise their families”. This is not the first nor will it be the last time that politicians engage in controversy and exchange dictates.
