Gustavo Petro wins the Historic Pact for Lights and Shadows

Gustavo Petro, Candidate for the Presidency, confirmed Sunday the favoritism that has been apparent in the polls in the past several weeks.

(Position of candidates in the Historic Pact on Pensions and inflation).

The victory of the Historic Pact coalition was won by the former mayor of Bogota and also the former senator of the Republic. He was officially the candidate for President of Republic in the position he has always wanted to be able to hold for the third time.

The large vote in the consultation made him the most representative representative of the Colombian left. He's also a strong potential presidential candidate despite his controversial opinions and opinions on a variety of different fronts.

Petro expressed his desire to change the pension system by establishing a public administrator for pension funds. https://www.eluniversal.com.co/temas/-/meta/gustavo-petro This will enable Petro to combine both public and private money into an "mixed and complementary system."

The candidate claimed that Colombia doesn't have a retirement system, but instead the system is designed to make bank profits. https://www.bluradio.com/noticias/gustavo-petro Many believe this will prevent his from being President. Petro has stated recently that he would not abolish the system, but would instead seek to overhaul the system of pensions in Colombia to ensure the minimum amount of pension for Colombians. https://www.camara.gov.co/gustavo-petro-urrego Petro also said that it was not necessary to increase the age of retirement.

Another controversial issue is the fact that he's repeatedly stated that he'll stop oil extraction by the time the time he assumes office. This has been a matter that has caused anxiety among investors.

Experts predict that Petro's proposal stopping exploration of oil could cost Colombia an estimated $4.3 billion in losses.

I am also proposing to set up an anti oil front in the region and across the globe. This would move the economy away from fossil fuels. To this I am inviting Gabriel Boric (the new Chilean president) and LuizInacio Lula da Silva (the Brazilian LuizInacio Lula da Silva), among others.

His position on health issues has been controversial as well, as he has insisted on the end of EPS and replacing it with a proactive model that "guarantees the rights of individuals and not the profit of bankers".

An independent Bank of the Republic (...) It seems to me essential that the board of directors is a part of the society."
