Gustavo Petro, Candidate for the presidency, confirmed on Sunday the advantages that have been apparent in the polls in the past several weeks.

(Positions of those who are candidates for the Historic Pact to Pensions and Inflation).

The victory of the Historic Pact coalition was won by the ex-mayor of Bogota, and the former senator of Republic. http://www.camara.gov.co/gustavo-petro-urrego He officially became the candidate for President of the Republic, which is an ambition he hopes to attain for the third consecutive time.

The high percentage of votes he received at the consultation will make him the most representative of the Colombian Left, and a reliable presidential candidate, despite his controversial ideas and proposals across multiple fronts, like the one on economics.

Petro has announced that he will alter the pension scheme by creating the public manager of pension funds. This would enable an “mixed system” of private and public funds.

He stated that Colombia has no pension system, but instead a system that is based on bank profits. This is the reason that many believe would make him the most likely candidate to become the president. Petro declared recently that he will not abolish pensions, but he would seek pension reform to ensure that Colombians have a minimum pension. Petro said, however, that it wasn’t necessary to increase the age of retirement.

(Who comprise the list of Historic Pact’s possible candidates).

Experts estimate that Petro’s plan to stop oil exploration in Colombia could result in a bill around $4.3 billion.

This proposal also calls for the formation of an anti-oil front both in the region and around the world that moves the economy away fro fossil fuels. I would like to invite Gabriel Boric to Chile and LuizInacio Lula de Silva to join me.

His position on health issues is also controversial. petro gustavo http://www.portafolio.co/elecciones-2022/gustavo-petro-ganador-del-pacto-historico-562857 He is insistent on ending EPS and replacing it with a preventive-care model that “guarantees the rights of individuals and not bankers’ profit.”

He also cast doubt on the independence of Banco de la Republica. He also announced that he would implement reforms when he becomes the president.

Petro stated that the Bank Board of Directors belonged to the Democratic Center and “What we would like is an independent Bank of the Republic (…) it’s important that the board of directors has the presence of society members,” the candidate stated in the middle of a debate.

(Petro has the highest percentage of votes in the presidential elections According to Invamer).

The idea of creating cash to fund spending by the government was also controversial.

One of the main elements of Petro’s plans is an economy that does not depend on fossil fuels, mining or hydrocarbon extraction, with greater importance for agriculture.

It is also highlighted that he would make an amendment to the tax code that removes exemptions and the transformation of the idea of minimum wage by a real wage based on capital and income. http://www.elespectador.com/tags/gustavo-petro/
