First modification:
Surprisingly, Gustavo Petro will have majorities in the Congress that is installed this Wednesday for the next four years. Or, at least, with almost zero opposition since, so far, only the Democratic Center, of former President Álvaro Uribe, has declared in this regard.
The former Uribistas, the Conservative Party and the U Party, announced that they would not counterweight Petro. Nor will his contender in the second presidential round, Rodolfo Hernández, despite the fact that his massive vote picked up anti-PTR sentiment.
Either by distancing himself from the unfavorable outgoing government of Iván Duque; By coincidence with Petro to achieve a “national agreement” of reconciliation, or by bureaucratic appetite, the first leftist government in the history of Colombia begins its relationship with the legislature with a honeymoon.
In addition, members of his coalition, the Historical Pact, will preside over both chambers of the legislature, so they are expected to promote the restructuring agenda for tax and agrarian issues, among others.
An opportunity that the new president intends to take advantage of, since this week he announced that he would promote his greatest reforms in these first twelve months.
