"The space for change is very limited. We try to understand where the cracks are and push on those that will bear the most fruit." This reflects the challenge President Petro faces in implementing his agenda amid constraints.
Petro's victory in June 2022 marked a significant shift in Colombia, transitioning from decades of conservative governance. His coalition, however, lacks a congressional majority, complicating further reforms.
The ambitious tax reform passed in November 2022 stands as Petro's most notable legislative success, increasing taxes on the wealthiest Colombians to finance social and environmental initiatives.
Petro's background as a former guerrilla fighter and his journey through political offices underscores the complexity of his presidency, marked by both progressive plans and significant hurdles.
