Claudia López and Vicky Dávila clash over political alliances

Journalist Vicky Dávila and former Bogotá Mayor Claudia López engaged in a public dispute on social media regarding López’s political positioning and future electoral alliances.

Dávila accused López of political opportunism, claiming the former mayor has shifted from identifying as center-right to center-left in an attempt to align with President Gustavo Petro and the Pacto Histórico. Dávila characterized the move as inconsistent, noting López’s previous support for Petro in 2018 and 2022.

López responded by dismissing the criticisms, describing the accusations as part of a “moral and political assassination” by the current regime. She also challenged Dávila’s English proficiency and comprehension during the exchange.
