He has been in power for nine months and is committed to major social reforms.
The president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, confesses to EL PAÍS that “undoubtedly there is a desire for change and there is resistance against change.
Which can more?
We cannot predetermine it.
I have invited the population to come out, to express whether they are in favor or against, because in these nine months a fundamental protagonist has been missing: the people.
I want the population to express itself, almost no country is transformed without the leading presence of the people”.
In the video that heads this news, Petro explains the reasons for this resistance, which are connected to the history of Colombia.
The conversation with Pepa Bueno, director of EL PAÍS, also covers the fight against drugs, the war in Ukraine or the role that Europe has to play in relations with Venezuela.
