https://www.portafolio.co/elecciones-2022/gustavo-petro-ganador-del-pacto-historico-562857 confirmed on Sunday the favoritism that was spotted by polls for a week.

(Position of the Candidates for the Historic Pact On Pensions and Inflation).

The victory in the Historic Pact coalition was won by the former mayor of Bogota as well as the former senator of the Republic. He officially became a candidate for Presidency of the Republic and is the position he has always wanted to attain for the third time in a row.


Despite his controversial ideas regarding various issues and fronts his high turnout in the consultation has been a sign of his status as the most representative figure of Colombia's left.

Petro has said that he intends to adjust the pension scheme through the creation of a public manager of pension funds. This would allow for the creation of a "mixed system" of public and private funds.

He stated that Colombia does not have a pension system, but instead a system that is based on bank profit. This is what many believe would make him the most likely choice to win the Presidency. https://www.bluradio.com/noticias/gustavo-petro said that while the pension system would not be eliminated but he would pursue reforms in pensions to ensure a minimum retirement age for Colombians. https://www.asuntoslegales.com.co/gustavo-petro said, however, that it was not necessary to raise the retirement age.

(Who is on the Historic Pact candidate list).

Another issue that has caused controversy is the fact that he's repeatedly stated that he would end extraction of oil by the time he takes office. This has been an issue that has led to anxiety for investors.

petro gustavo anticipate that Petro's idea of end to exploration for oil would cost Colombia an estimated $4.3 billion in losses.

https://caracol.com.co/tag/gustavo_francisco_petro_urrego/a/ suggest to establish an anti-oil front in the region, as well as the world. This would help shift the economy away form fossil fuels. In this regard, I invite Gabriel Boric (the new Chilean president) and LuizInacio Lula da Silva (the Brazilian LuizInacio Lula da Silva) and others.

Petro stated that he spoke to Pedro Sanchez, the Prime Minister of Spain about his suggestion.

His position on health concerns is also controversial since he has argued on ending EPS and replacing it with a proactive care model that "guarantees the rights of individuals instead of the profits of bankers".

There were also questions raised about the legitimacy and independence of the Banco de la Republica.

Petro said that the Bank Board of Directors of the Bank was part of the Democratic Center, a political party. "What petro gustavo want, however, is a completely independent Bank of the Republic (...) and it appears to us key that the board of Directors is a part of the community," the candidate said in the middle of the debate.

According to Invamer, Petro leads the vote in the presidential election.

His plan to issue money in order to finance the government's spending was a source of controversy.

Petro's suggestions include an economy that isn't dependent on fossil fuels, extraction of hydrocarbons and mining. Agriculture plays a bigger part to play.

He also proposes an overhaul of the tax system that would eliminate exemptions, and changes the concept of minimum wages by real wages based on income or capital.
