I´m totally voting SERPA!

I´m totally voting SERPA! by dfinnecy.
I don´t know what a Santander is but I want Serpa to be mine.

The elections were on Oct 28th and there was a lot of campaigning and action leading up to them. Everything seemed normal to us travellers but when I checked the news I found out 21 candidates had been assassinated in the few weeks before. Colombia is a country at war, however low key it might be.

Santander is the department (state, province) where Barichara is located. Horacio Serpa is a former presidential candidate best known for his involvement in the so-called 8000 Process).

Serpa won these elections, because almost all parties, left and right wing, backed him against the son of a mafioso.
