Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said Tuesday he wasn't fighting with his predecessor, Alvaro Uribe, but that it's the other way around.

In an interview with newscast CM& Tuesday, Santos denied a possible rapprochement with the former president in recent days, but claimed he had no issues with Uribe.

"I'm not fighting with President Uribe, he is fighting with me. I only have respect and gratitude for President Uribe. If he has said he wants to meet me, I have never received the call," said Santos.

The Head of State said he had no explanation for the ever-growing divide between him and his predecessor, who were once close allies.
