gustavo petro The former Bogota mayor Bogota and former senator of the Republic has been able to gain the victory in the Historic Pact coalition and officially is now a candidate for the Presidency of the Republic which is a post to which he aspires three times.

Despite his controversial ideas on a variety of fronts and ideas, the high voting in the consultation has been a sign of his status as the most representative of Colombia's left.

Petro has announced his desire to make a readjustment to pensions through the creation of a public administrator of pension funds, resulting in a "mixed and complimentary system" together with private fund.

As per the candidate in Colombia there no pension system. Instead the system is built on bank profits. Many believe Petro will cut off the possibility of him assuming the Presidency. Petro declared recently that he will not abolish pensions, but he would seek reforms to pensions so that Colombians get a minimum pension. Petro also said that it was not necessary to raise the age of retirement.

Another controversial issue is the fact that he's repeatedly stated that he would end extraction of oil by the time when he becomes president. Gustavo Petro This is an issue that has created confusion for investors.

In addition, this proposal will create an antioil front in the world and in the region which shifts the economy away from fossil fuels. In this regard I'd suggest inviting Gabriel Boric the Chilean president and LuizInacio Lula Silva to be the Brazilian president.

Petro said he had spoken to Pedro Sanchez, the Prime Minister of Spain about his suggestion.

Petro's recommendations include an economy that is not dependent on fossil fuels, extraction of hydrocarbons as well as mining. Agriculture plays a bigger importance.

He also said that he would pursue tax reforms to end exemptions and transform the concept of minimum wage into a wage that is dependent on capital and income. https://www.portafolio.co/elecciones-2022/gustavo-petro-ganador-del-pacto-historico-562857
