"Colombia's Leftist President Faces Obstacles: Congress and Campaign Finance Scandal"

Colombian President Gustavo Petro, who took office a year ago with ambitious goals for his leftist government, is facing challenges in fulfilling his promises. His approval rating has dropped, rebel groups and drug traffickers continue to pose a threat, and his social and economic reforms are stalled in congress. A campaign finance scandal involving his eldest son has further weakened his government, with analysts suggesting he may become a lame duck president. Petro's political prospects have changed significantly since his inauguration, and he now faces difficulties in passing legislative reforms.
