Ungrateful: Cabal and Polo Polo fight in X for support of Abelardo

The article discusses the deteriorating relationship between former senator María Fernanda Cabal and former representative Miguel Polo Polo, both associated with the conservative wing of the Uribe faction in Colombia. The conflict emerged after the Ministry of Culture, led by another Uribe-aligned figure Paola Holguín, appointed Gissella Rueda as secretary general. Rueda had previously worked under Cabal during her time as a senator. The controversy began when Rueda tweeted responses to Polo Polo’s support for Abelardo de la Espriella during his campaign, leading to accusations of ingratitude and opportunism from Cabal. Polo Polo retaliated by criticizing Cabal’s past actions and questioning her ability to compete against leftist candidates. The dispute highlights tensions within the conservative political sphere, despite both figures now being part of the new government led by Abelardo de la Espriella.
