olombia’s presidential front-runner Gustavo Petro is calling on ideological allies across Latin America and the world to join him in forming a new bloc to lead the economy away from fossil fuels.
Such an alliance will hopefully include Chile’s president-elect Gabriel Boric, and Brazil’s Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, he said Thursday. It may not include Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who he said favors extractive industries.
The rise of green politics implies tough choices in a region whose economies depend on oil and mining. Petro argues that Colombia can phase out fossil fuel production without jeopardizing the fight against poverty and infant malnutrition. If he wins, he would be the first leftist ever to govern Colombia, though he says that “left-wing” and “right-wing” are now obsolete 20th century terms. The new fault line is between the “politics of life”, which defends the environment, and the “politics of death”, which advocates economic models based on the extraction of fossil fuels, in his view.
Colombia produces more than 700,000 barrels of crude a day, making it the biggest South American producer after Brazil and Venezuela. Much of it is delivered by state-owned Ecopetrol SA. “If interest rates rise in Colombia, the economic recovery is killed off,” Petro said. “If they go up, the capacity for productive investment in the country decreases because it shifts toward other types of investment of a more speculative and financial type, than of a productive kind.”
Are you supporting guerrilla? Petro is a thief a compulsive liar and kidnapper.
camines_ Yeah sure…

petrogustavo is a serial killer. M-19, his guerrilla group handed over weapons and they never paid a single day in jail. they were pardoned, but that doesn't mean they aren't murderers.
CrisRoncancioL Petro convoca al mundo como mandatario de Colombia.
Most important, it’s that Colombia need a leader to put on track Colombia in legality. Colombia is a narco state sponsored by USA. USA citizens don’t know this situation. Total support to petrogustavo
Viva petrogustavo Colombia está despierta y sin miedo al cambio. Felicitacione por demostrar lo que es realizar una noticia con contundencia y con estructura sin manipulación no como RevistaSemana la porquería más grande de Colombia junto a VickyDavilaH
Por favor escuchar y ver entrevista de Arnold Schwarzenegger para BBC.

elvin_calcano24 Dude, my advice. Do that shit after the winter.
Genial su llamado contra el petróleo sólo que se anticipa tanto a hacerlo, que terminaremos renunciando a un bien que aún es necesario.

Ya quisiera la corruptela de este país que los atendieran como a petrogustavo en el resto del mundo; dentro y fuera del país se reconoce su talante de estadista, se les cae el libreto que tanto repiten y los carcome la envidia. ¿Cuando veremos a los otros aspirantes en estás?
Let's go Petro!!! Let's go!! PetroPresidente2022
PRESIDENT COLOMBIA 🇨🇴
PetroEsUnHamponAsesino
His mind is confuse. Not true that he Is the favorite. He Is DANGEROUS for the country and the democratic AND capitalist World
Do you mean this kidnapper, murderer and terrorist?
Petros' electoral promises to gain vote support. He was Bogotas' Mayor and changed the Garbage Company, it was a caos. On the other side his political partners are corrupted politicians, you can not trust his 'so good proposals', in addition he was an idealogist guerrilla member.
petrogustavo PetroPresidente2022 un líder de talla internacional
The next President of Colombia 🇨🇴 !
petrogustavo The great economist .🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
petrogustavo
MLLACOUTURE 🤩
Please be clear; Gustavo Petro, is a communist presidential candidate and is the favorite to win the nomination from his communist party. He is not and never will be the favorite to win the presidential elections in a country with a solid democratic tradition.
fme2011 Gustavo Petro is terrorist.
This is the same guy that once integrated the criminal lefty guerrilla called 'M19'.In his time, they kidnaped innocent people; they kill police officers, they blow out oil pipe lines, poison rivers, lakes and displaced many families from their lands. Who is going to trust him?
Sólo se que mi voto va a acabar de fregar esto o lo va a empezar a arreglar poco a poco...pero no para seguir igual!.. Vamos Colombia que si se puede de una y en primera vuelta 55/86.. PH
When he was Bogota's mayor, he did nothing to stop climate change, otherwise he extended old polluting buses of Bogota's BRT system. Also repower highly polluting diesel buses for the regular ones. His speech is one, the true is completly the opposite. POPULISM.
petrogustavo 🤡🤡🤡
The world says that Petro will be president, now is need that de colombian people to make it happen
Tan millonario,usted es un pobre diablo
If you like this guy, you probably like communism, he is the colombian Chavez, so i suggest you think a little before you just press the like button over a headline.
petrogustavo the historical pact of rapists and thieves..
Criminal
petrogustavo hay que mandarle material a esos diarios internacionales para que sepan quien es este hampon vividor terrorista .
He is PetroPresidente2022
PetroPresidente2022
Leading Colombia towards poverty. Colombia doesn’t have right now any other means besides fossil derived types of energy to move the country forward, it needs to implement alternative ways first.
petrogustavo EMBUSTERO petrogustavo un mentiroso compulsivo, un disociador, un amante del caos, un resentido, un sofista. Es un psicópata que se cree mesías, que se proclama salvador, que se siente imprescindible, que se jura un Dios.
petrogustavo Será que esa plata entró , a la campaña de petro presidente ? Hay que preguntarle a diosdaldo?
petrogustavo Ya nos robaron hasta la risa los politicos de siempre, si ama a Colombia petro, debe hacer un cambio total en este país que está al borde del abismo, si no piensa en repartiñas pasará a la historia por el cambio más grande un país para bien, si no lo hace será un maduro más.
Jajaja Ahí si hay dinero Quieren comprar la constitución de Colombia Para ser amos y señores
Con petrogustavo en la presidencia el medio ambiente colombiano sale favorecido, vamos por el cambio.
Todo eso se queda en ideas
You gotta be and you better be the new president petrogustavo PetroPresidente2022
The only option for Colombia is PetroPresidente2022
Se llama petrogustavo y quiero que sea nuestro presidente 🥰🥰🥰
I would believe him if he was effective at managing a government post. Never showed that while in charge of the 2nd most important post in Colombia: Bogotá’s mayor. Good at platitudes & empty promises! Doesn’t know how to execute. Gets caught up on his own garbled 💩 words.🙄
PetroPresidente2022

THE WORST!!! this criminal burned down the supreme court of justice of Colombia in 1985 by order of Pablo Escobar, why make a guerrilla and murderer look like someone with important ideas? RESPECT Colombia we dont want to be a new Venezuela PetroEsUnPeligro
The comment in the article that I don’t like and it’s not true it’s that the peso it’s over $4000 in part. because of petrogustavo . The dollar it’s that hight against the peso because IvanDuque has been the worst president in the history of colombia.other than that it’s good

No demora y sale Martuchis a cuestionar este medio
Any Colombian politician lacks of enough power in the international community to lead an idea like this. This new “bloc” could be compare with Non-Aligned Movement in the Cold War, an insignifficant coalition with no enough strength in the international sphere that time.
Si no despierta su gente. Petro convertirá a Colombia en la siguiente Venezuela.
We cannot control ourselves, much less the climate. We need to get the beast off our backs by implementing a 7 year debt Jubilees. This would slow down mass consumption of vital resources also.
Grande PETRO!! Vota bien ⬇️ PactoHistórico 🕊Senado y Cámara PetroPresidente2022 PetroPresidenteEnPrimeraVuelta 🥑
This guy only seeks international recognition, he is a liar who seeks power at the expense of Colombia's stability. This man is hungry for power and is able to sell his soul to the devil to get it
Petro presidente 🇨🇴🇨🇴❤️ la comunidad internacional debe cuidar las elecciones en Colombia, ya que el uribismo se las quiere robar nuevamente
He is a dangerous man, Colombia will go to a disaster if he gets elected
A dangerous person.
Colombia is the most corrupted country in the world and needs a strong leader to fix the economy
Que MARTUCHIS dice esperar un reportaje igual al RESTO DE CANDIDATOS. 😅🤣
Petro is the new Chavez in South America.
Petrol while he was a leader of the terrorist group m19 helped plan one of the worst massacre in Columbia's history in 1985. The terrorist attack to Colombia's suprime court building.
Look how Europe is Suffering with similar ridiculous thoughtless Policies. They're are mercy of other countries during Winters. Ask him what metals required go away from fossil fuels? Mining Dangerous metals okay? Colombia should rethink about his economy 💵Killing policy.
Creo que exiten poderes mayusculos e interese de algunos para no acabar con el combustible fosil. Me gustaria tener un auto electrico, pero son el doble de caros que los de gasolina, el insentivo de compra este tipo de auto esta por el piso.
federicorios Yes, the world is under attack by fascist forces. And all of us, in Latin-America and the rest of the world that values democracy, need to support each other.
Time, wuau only Petro can do it!
Pretty good briefing on what Petro is all about. It lacks criticism but then again it's merely a report and that is not to be expected, I guess.
petrogustavo Colombia's Future President 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
Petro presidente 2022-2026 PactoHistorico
Take a look at all the man made items around you. Those things were once a part of nature, now they will soon be garbage. ✌
Indeed, petrogustavo is the best choice Colombians have to eradicate corruption, poverty, mass killings and lead the way to a fossil free country.
This solution is self discipline. You can't have your cake and ice cream too.
Ya saldrán los uribestias a decir que es neocomunista, castro chavista y pagada por el foro de chile
Despite Colombia consuming +80% renewable energy and producing less co2 per person that most of the world, this demagogue gets away with it
Poverty and mismanagement for all the world. Be careful ppl, this gang is already taking over Latin America.
Los otros candidatos deben estar mordiendose los codos...
QUIERO SABER PORQUE LOS SEGUIDORES DE PETRO DICEN QUE ES EL MEJOR PARÁ SER EL.PREDIDENTE DE COLOMBIA Cuál es su programa de Gobierno para nuestro País
jorge_vasqez Porque planeta tierra no hay si no una, bamos con toda a frenar el Cambio Climático. Comprometidos con las espectativas de la COP 26 el Cambio es ahora.
Ya habrán salido Fico, Rodolfo, Char o Fajardo en este prestigioso medio de comunicación mundial?
ladirekta Me parece muy bueno ojalá esto no le ocasione enemigos en el exterior la OTAN, no estará muy contenta.
AABenedetti Petro un candidato presidencial que trasciende las fronteras y coloca a Colombia en la agenda del cambio climático mundial.
I'm in!
Who are his ideological allies? Maduro, Díaz Canel, Pablo Iglesias, López Obrador... Trust despots, demagogues and corrupt people in a vital issue such as the energy transition? Weird.
bet on clean energies that save the whole world ♻️
Green Deal 🟢♻️🌳🍀💚
EngKronos11 Petros been always called extreme left if you read his proposals you can see it's European propouses , the political party that has been ruling the country for 20 WHOLE years feels threatened cause they dont wanna leave the chair (dictatorship) Colombia wants change and he'll win
el_fachos Is it oil an infinite resource?
We don't have the resources to support these lofty technological ideas. If you want to save the earth we must stop consuming it. Only buy what you really need. Stop buying garbage. That's where the power is.
nnsEschebach 'Time Castrochavista Enmermelado'. Dirán los Uribestias.
That's a dangerous ideology
Poor country doesn't know what is coming next!
وعموما خير ان شاء الله !
مافي احترام بالمرة ؛ استخفاف واستهتار ؛ بالله كيف نتفاهم مع ناس ما يحترمون شيء الا شهواتهم ؟!

Let their people freeze. Return to windmills and ancient triremes. Remove cars and go back to horse and buggy. That is real progress people....but Russia, China, India, SE Asia, N. Korea, Iran, Iraq, and more nations will ignore your stupid fight and will surpass us.
