Much remains to be done. Colombia has a long way to go to rise from the economic crisis caused by the pandemic and Duque’s mismanagement. Leftist leaders, environmental activists, LGBTQ activists, farmers, and members of the extinct guerrillas must take to the streets without fear of assassination, a terror inherited from decades of social insecurity and violence. “Change will continue. This is just the beginning,” Petro concluded. |
