Former senator of the Republic and former mayor of Bogota was able to secure the victory through the Historic Pact coalition. Officially the former mayor is now a candidate to the Presidency, which he hopes to win three times.


His strong vote during the consultation makes him the most representative of the Colombian Left and a solid candidate for the presidency, despite controversial proposals and ideas on multiple fronts such as the economic one.

Petro declared his intention to alter the pension system via the creation of a public manager for pension funds. Petro also plans to develop an arrangement which can be "mixed-and-complementary" with private funds.

The candidate has said that in Colombia "we do not have pensions, we have banks have a profit system," so many claim that he will eliminate the chances of reaching the presidency. Petro recently stated however that he will not eliminate pensions, but would try to reform the pension system in Colombia in order achieve a minimum level of pension for Colombians. He also stated that there is no need to increase the age of retirement.

This would help shift the economy away from fossil fuels. To this, I invite Gabriel Boric (the new Chilean president) and LuizInacio Lula da Silva (the Brazilian LuizInacio Lula da Silva) and others.

Petro claimed that the two of them were talking to Pedro Sanchez (the Prime Minister of Spain) about his plan.

His position on healthcare issues is also controversial. He wants to end EPS, and replacing it by an preventive model of healthcare that "guarantees individual rights, not bankers' profit."

He also challenged the independence of Banco de la Republica, and stated that he would also change the institution in the event of his being elected President.

Petro said that the Bank Board of Directors belonged to the Democratic Center and "What we would like is an independent Bank of the Republic (...) it is essential that the board of directors is a part of the society," the candidate stated in the middle of the debate.
