It is true that he has made significant progress in terms of peace and education, and that he has been working on important reforms within Congress, but he also has black numbers in terms of the economy, inflation, or the price of the Colombian peso.

Likewise, Gustavo Petro has not yet advanced on key issues of his campaign such as the declaration of the mining moratorium or presenting a proposal for the health reform, among others. However, the Ministers of Mines and Health have already confirmed the Government's intentions to advance in both fields, although they are issues that still have several opponents within the same ruling party in Congress.
