00:00God willing, things won't be like that, and the tiger won't be as bad as it's painted.
00:06I'm tired of the insecurity in Colombia and this guy is making some really great proposals to address it.
00:13Josefina and Henry are among the nearly 700,000 Barranquilla residents who voted on June 21 for a new
00:19president, each one for a different candidate.
00:22One demonstrates the effort Abelardo de la Esprilla made to turn Barranquilla into his center of operations,
00:27But the other one embodies the vote that gave Iván Cepeda the victory in that same city.
00:33In the north, the Esprilla held sway.
00:36In the polling stations of zone 28 in Rio Mar alone, he obtained 28,108 votes.
00:41From that same point, one of the last caravans of his supporters departed towards the Window to the World.
00:46place where he gave his first speech as president-elect that Sunday.
00:50Among those waiting for him was Samuel Gómez, who came accompanied by his son, little Agustín,
00:56whom he dressed in a tiger suit.
00:58I came to celebrate a new hope for Colombia.
01:03Abelardo de la Esprilla's voters in Barranquilla were located in socioeconomic levels 3 through 6 in the northern part of the city.
01:10the city.
01:11One diagnosis of this is that in the neighborhoods where he won there are empty streets where only cars pass through.
01:16deluxe.
01:17Those same vehicles, with the Country Club's credentials, surrounded the Window to the World that Sunday.
01:21A very nice campaign, neighborhood by neighborhood, word of mouth, with organizations in the territory.
01:27People understood the importance and significance of having an allied national government.
01:32These were the words of Estefanel Gutiérrez, representative of the Char political group,
01:37the same group that mobilized Caribbean votes in favor of the new president.
01:41Despite this, his speech did not resonate with all the people of Barranquilla.
01:44And while one part of the city celebrated, the other locked itself in at 7 pm without saying a word.
01:50one word.
01:50In the town of Río Mar, the same one that gave the most votes to De Las Priella,
01:54Composed mostly of strata 4, 5 and 6, there is a small dissent.
01:58And on the night of June 21st, he lived only in silence.
02:01I'm talking about the La Playa district.
02:03In the polling stations of that district, Cepeda obtained 6,231 votes,
02:08which doubled the 3,597 achieved by De Las Priella,
02:12breaking the trend of the rest of the town of Río Mar.
02:16We, the working class, the peasant, the indigenous person, the Afro-descendant,
02:22And likewise, young people see their needs reflected in this programmatic proposal,
02:29in this outgoing government, and in that sense he decided to take to the streets,
02:35not only to cast their vote, but also to multiply it.
02:39Walking along the beach streets, you can see the Mallorquín marsh in the distance.
02:44to the fishermen who live in the neighborhood,
02:46to the workers who joined together to remodel the community cemetery,
02:50and among them is Eduardo Ojeda,
02:52who voted for Iván Cepeda hoping to continue President Gustavo Petro's project.
02:56Silence, brother.
02:58What a weird thing on the beach, bro!
03:00And when they got there,
03:03Hey, the beach is going through the same thing as Sabana Larga.
03:06Everything is silent about the supposed gain of that president they put in there, the tiger.
03:13The sadness she speaks of is collective and spreads throughout the beach houses,
03:17Or at least that's how José Vila Navarro told it.
03:19At 67 years old, he is concerned about fracking and the peace of the country with the arrival of Las Prechas.
03:24But the outlook is very uncertain for her.
03:26I don't want this, I don't want young people to go out and get killed.
03:30I am a mother, I am a grandmother.
03:32He talked about so many things that they suddenly instilled that fear in one.
03:36And the truth is, God willing, things won't be like that.
03:41For Andrea Vargas, the elected representative of the historic pact,
03:45Cepeda's victory in the city, despite Islas Preya's moves, is due to the following.
03:49Barranquilla is a rebellious city that votes freely for president.
03:53That's the first thing to say.
03:55Iván Cepeda won mainly because of his vote in the three southern towns.
04:01There are five localities in Barranquilla, three localities in the south and the popular influence of the localities in the north.
04:06However, for artists like the merchant Henry Silva, this is different.
04:10The thing is, we already see many people from Barranquilla who have an easy life.
04:16So, that's why they voted for Cepeda.
04:18Here you have to get up and work hard, earn things for yourself.
04:22So, here they wanted everything easy, and that's not how it is.
04:24Weeks after the election of Abelardo de las Preya as the coastal president,
04:27His strategy of turning the Atlantic capital into his operations center did not win him votes in the
04:31Caribbean,
04:32But he closes a small gap in his narrative of governing from the regions by starting his first decisions from his Barranquilla.
04:38Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, the Artusa continues,
04:40although now with an eye toward a reorganization to gain local power in the next elections.
