GAYLES.TV.- Claudia Lopez defines itself as "incorruptible" and has just made history by being elected as mayor of the Colombian capital. In the first place, because she is the first woman to obtain the municipal mandate of Bogota,, but also Claudia has never hidden her lesbian status.
Who holds the mayor of Bogotá is traditionally considered the second most important political office in Colombia after the Presidency of the nation. The candidate who appeared for a center-left formation won by a narrow margin the representative of the liberal party, Carlos Fernando Galán, which obtained 32,5% of the votes against 35,2% of voters who voted for Claudia López.
The new mayor, who is 49 years old, comes from the world of journalism and militates in the ranks of Green Alliance from Colombia. Famous for her criticism of right-wing politics and for her environmental activism, she has been particularly involved in the fight against corruption in her country. The strengths of its electoral program are the increased police presence on the streets of Bogotá, the fight against child labor and the creation of better educational opportunities for those over 45 years of age.
In your account Twitter Claudia López wrote: "We have not only won but we are changing history". And obviously, Claudia López's victory has become a great cause for celebration for the LGTBI community in Colombia. The way Claudia celebrated her triumph by kissing her partner, Angelica Lozano, in public it was completely unthinkable a few years ago in the country. And so he has recognized Renata Segura, friend of the couple and associate of Forum for Conflict Prevention and Pacification when writing, also on Twitter: “This is a symbol of the moment, a sign of change and of the good things that are to come”.
We hope that this is the case and, from Gayles.tv, we wish the new mayor a long, happy and fruitful mandate.
