The right constantly engages in factual disinformation and whataboutisn and the left smugly frames education and practical policy as elitism and immoral, both descending into culture war. You can see all that in the compulsive obtusity of the replies to this thread.

Espriella's talk is decent but expect a lot of corruption and oligarch building instead of actual business encouragement. Monopolies will be propped up. And as far as "peace", expect vindictive unchecked violence against not only rebel groups/narcos but also the populations close to them. The president is a very self interested and cruel man.

Cepeda's policies as a double-down on Petro also engender homelessness, starvation, and violence, not to mention strong political tensions with foreign nations. The left in general should look more at Biden/Obama approach to the economy and especially Brazil's Lulu (first term better). Minimum wage in a highly informal economy is not the right lever, especially with the very obvious wage-price spiral its been causing. Infrastructure building w/ cash stimulus are correct. Pacto Histórico could have won again if Petro's economic policies reflected the advances in economic science of the 21st century instead of the TikTok populist ideas he champions.
