President Petro thinks that he champions a process of unprecedented social change in Colombia, says Ruben Navarrette. He was chosen by the pandemic, not by his political skill, although it is great, he says.

The people voted for the Constituent Assembly and support the Constitution after thirty years, he adds. The popularly elected Congresss appoints a good part of the authorities that control Petro, he writes. Navarrete: Petro seems out of place every time his own narrative of change is broken.
