The large majority of votes during the consultation makes him to be the most representative of the figures of the Colombian left and a solid candidate for president, despite his controversial proposals and ideas on several fronts, including the economic one.

Petro announced his plans to reform the pension system with the establishment of a public manager of the pension fund. The system is expected to be "mixed" and complement the private funds.

Many believe Petro will eliminate the possibility of him assuming the Presidency. https://www.eluniversal.com.co/temas/-/meta/gustavo-petro Petro has stated recently however that he wouldn't abolish them, but would seek to improve the pension system in Colombia, in order to achieve a minimum level of pension for Colombians. Petro also said that it was not necessary to increase the retirement age.

Another topic of contention is his repeated promises to stop oil extraction when he becomes President. This has created anxiety for investors as well as the overall market.

Experts estimate that Petro's plans to end oil exploration would cost Colombia around $4.3 billion.

In addition to this, the proposal is the idea of establishing an anti-oil front in the region and across the globe, which moves the economy away from fossil fuels, for which I'd like to invite the president-elect of Chile, Gabriel Boric, as well as the Brazilian Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, and others.

Petro claimed that he had spoken to Pedro Sanchez, Spain's Prime Minister, recently about his proposal.

His position on health is as well controversial. He has called for the end of EPS and replaced it with a model of preventive medical care that "guarantees human rights and not the bankers' profit margins."

He also has questioned the legitimacy of Banco de la Republica.

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 seems crucial that the board of directors is a part of society members," the candidate stated during an argument.

It was also controversial that he suggested to issue cash to fund government expenditures.

Petro's plans concentrate on a sustainable economy that isn't dependent on fossil fuels.
