For months, Gustavo Petro, the former guerrilla and Bogota mayor, has been all the talk ahead of Colombia’s presidential elections. The rich fear him, while many of the poor love his promises to redistribute land and wealth.
Sunday, he will finally know who his opponents are, with just two months to go before the presidential vote.
Colombia holds primaries and legislative elections on Sunday, which will bring greater clarity about the possibility of Petro leading a national swing to the left.
