Federico Gutiérrez defends electoral council after presidential campaign sanction

Federico Gutiérrez defended the National Electoral Council (CNE) after President Petro criticized its decision to sanction his presidential campaign for exceeding spending limits. Petro accused a CNE judge of being "paid by Fico," prompting Gutiérrez to defend the judge's integrity and legal standing. Gutiérrez stated the CNE's decision was made by a qualified majority of six magistrates. Gutiérrez suggested Petro is creating a "smokescreen" to distract from serious issues, urging the president to respect the justice system.
