The director of the Division of Social Prosperity, Gustavo Bolívar, not too long ago spoke in regards to the upcoming elections in Colombia in 2026, taking for example the re-election of the progressive motion in Mexico.
“As we speak Mexico re-elects the left. Throughout the marketing campaign they mentioned that López Obrador would finish Mexico, that it will flip it like Venezuela and all of the M… that they often say about Petro. The alternative occurred. AMLO lifted 5 million Mexicans out of poverty and the economic system is wholesome. The polls will discuss immediately about his administration as a result of he already did it, talking two hours a day, setting the political agenda, asserting his achievements. In 2026, Colombia will vote to stay progressive as Mexico does immediately,” Bolívar said after Claudia Sheinbaum’s victory.

As a result of they already tried a long time with the precise and solely received poverty, inequality and corruption. In 2026, Colombia will observe the trail of social justice, peace, training and power transition that President Petro is charting.

Nevertheless, Bolívar acknowledged that the left in Colombia faces completely different challenges than these in Mexico. Whereas Morena, the left-wing get together, has constructed a powerful territorial and academic group, the Historic Pact in Colombia reveals important weaknesses. “Claudia Sheinbaum’s triumph just isn’t free. Aside from the great authorities that AMLO has achieved, the left in Mexico knew tips on how to construct a powerful get together. Morena has territorial group, it kinds its cadres. Subsequently, in contrast to the Pact, Morena received half of the five hundred seats within the Chamber and nearly half of the 128 seats within the Senate. Including the PT, they attain certified majorities. As well as, they maintain 25 of the 32 governorships and 57% of the mayoralties. The PRI, dominator of conventional Mexican politics for 70 years, has been defeated and dismantled by this tsunami referred to as Morena. As we speak the PRI solely has 2 governors. The panorama of the left in Colombia is completely different. That’s the reason we can’t even evaluate ourselves with Mexico. Right here we solely have the great authorities of Gustavo Petro. Nothing else. Weak bench and an insipid grassroots group, which throughout electoral occasions is displaced by opportunists and political retailers,” defined Bolívar.
