Gustavo Petro won the Historic Pact with the help of Lights and Shadows
Gustavo Petro , Candidate for the Presidency, confirmed Sunday the favoritism that has been apparent in the polls in the last few weeks.
(Position of candidates of the Historic Pact on Pensions and inflation).
The former mayor of Bogota and former senator of the Republic managed to win the victory within the Historic Pact coalition and officially becomes a candidate for Presidency of the Republic, a position to which he is aspiring three times.
He is the most authentic figure in Colombian left and is a strong potential presidential candidate, despite his controversial ideas and proposals on many fronts, including economic.
Petro announced his plans to overhaul the pension system by the creation of a public administrator for the pension fund. The pension system will be "mixed" and complement the private funds.
According https://www.camara.gov.co/gustavo-petro-urrego , there is no pension system in Colombia. However, there are bank profits. Many have said that Petro would eliminate any possibility of being elected as president. Petro has recently stated that, while he would not eliminate them however, he will seek to make changes in pensions to ensure the minimum retirement age for Colombians. https://caracol.com.co/tag/gustavo_francisco_petro_urrego/a/ stated that it is not necessary to raise the age of retirement.
(Who make up the list of Historic Pact's potential candidates).
Another topic of contention is that he has repeatedly said that he would stop extraction of oil as soon as his appointment. This has led to uncertainty among investors, and also the market in general.
https://www.larepublica.co/gustavo-petro estimate that Petro's plan to end oil exploration would cost Colombia around $4.3 billion.
Added to this proposal is the idea of establishing an anti-oil front within the region and around the world that will move away from fossil fuels to which I would invite the president-elect of Chile, Gabriel Boric, and the Brazilian Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, as well as others.
Petro claimed that he talked to Pedro Sanchez, the Prime Minister of Spain about his proposal.
https://www.portafolio.co/elecciones-2022/gustavo-petro-ganador-del-pacto-historico-562857 on healthcare issues is also controversial. He is insistent on ending EPS and replacing it with an preventive model of healthcare that "guarantees the rights of individuals and not bankers' profit."
He has also questioned the independence of the Banco de la Republica and announced that he would also implement a change in the event of becoming the President.
According to Petro, "the Board of Directors of the Bank belongs to a political party, the Democratic Center" and therefore, "what we want is an independent Bank of the Republic (...) it is key that the board of directors is a part of the public," said the candidate during a debate.
Invamer claims that Petro is the president's choice for in voting intentions.
It was a controversial idea that he proposed issuing cash to fund government spending.
Petro's ideas include a non-reliant economy, hydrocarbon extraction and mining, and a greater agricultural role.
He also stated that he will implement an overhaul of the tax system to remove exemptions and transform the idea of a minimum wage into a wage based on income and capital.
