Gustavo Petro wins the Historic Pact for Lights and Shadows
Gustavo Petro the candidate confirmed on Sunday the favoritism which was spotted in polls for several week.

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

The victory in the Historic Pact coalition was won by the former mayor of Bogota, and the former senator of Republic. He officially became the candidate for President of Republic and is the position he has always wanted to achieve for the third consecutive time.

His strong vote at the meeting is the most representative of the Colombian Left and a solid candidate for the presidency, despite the fact that his ideas and proposals are controversial across multiple fronts, such as the economic one.

Gustavo Petro This will allow Petro to blend both public and private money into the form of a "mixed, complementary system."

The candidate has stated that in Colombia "we do not have a pension system, but a system of bank profits," so many claim that he will end any chance of winning the Presidency. Petro declared recently that he would not eliminate the system, but he will pursue reforms to pensions so that Colombians have a minimum pension. Petro said that there is "no requirement" to increase the pension age.

Another topic of contention is the fact that he has repeatedly stated that he will stop oil extraction as soon as his appointment. This has caused uncertainty among investors, and also among the market as a whole.

Experts believe Petro's plan for Colombia to end oil exploration could cause an estimated loss of $4.3 billion.

I also propose to create an anti-oil front within the region as well as the world. This will help move the economy away form fossil fuels. In this regard I am inviting Gabriel Boric (the new Chilean president) and LuizInacio Lula da Silva (the Brazilian LuizInacio Lula da Silva), among others.

Petro claimed that Petro was in conversation with Pedro Sanchez (the Prime Minister of Spain) about his proposal.

His position on health concerns has also been controversial because he insists on eliminating EPS and replacing it with a preventive health model that "guarantees the rights of individuals instead of the profits of bankers".

He also questioned the independence of the Banco de la Republica. He also announced that he would make reforms in the event he became President.
