On the afternoon of this Tuesday, November 19, the 26 councilors of the Medellín District met in order to elect the new board of directors that will lead the corporation during the legislative period of 2025.
With 19 votes in favor, the corporations elected councilor Sebastián López Valencia, from the Democratic Center party, as president, who will replace the outgoing Andrés Felipe Tobón Villada, from the Creo movement.
“We, as the Council, are going to constructively accompany the Mayor’s Office in a relationship of political control so that it materializes its Development Plan. We have been constantly demanding for a year that they recompose issues, demanding speed in execution, that they take up other things. We here carry out political control, but serious and constructive political control so that the Development Plan materializes and we are going to do that during the next year,” López Valencia highlighted.
For their part, with 21 and 20 votes, Santiago Perdomo Montoya, from Creo, and Carlos Gutiérrez Bustamante, from the Independientes movement, will be the first and second vice presidents. They will take over those positions, in their order, from Claudia Carrasquilla Minami, from the Democratic Center, and the second vice presidency in the hands of Janeth Hurtado Betancur, from the Independent Social Alliance (ASI).
“We have to give all the guarantees to the opposition for the democratic exercise. We understand that we need different actors with different ways of thinking and a board of directors, how the entire issue of debates and political controls is logistically organized, since it has to guarantee that all actors have equality in this democratic task,” Perdomo Montoya stressed.
Through his respect and independence for the good of our people in the city. Good things are coming for Medellín,” he expressed.
