gustavo petro in the Historic Pact coalition was won by the former mayor of Bogota, and the former senator of Republic. He has officially become a candidate for Presidency of the Republic in a position he longs to attain for the third time.

Petro expressed his desire to change the pension system through the creation of the position of a public administrator for pension funds. This will enable Petro to blend both public and private money into the form of a "mixed, complementary system."

The candidate has said that in Colombia "we don't have pension systems, but the system is based on bank profits," so many claim that he will eliminate the chances of reaching the Presidency. However, Petro recently said that the government would not end pensions but would seek pension reform to create a minimum retirement age for Colombians. Petro also claimed that there was no reason to increase the retirement age.

Experts estimate that Petro's plans to end oil exploration would cost Colombia about $4.3 billion.

I also propose to create an anti-oil front in the region and across the globe. This would help shift the economy away from 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.
