"Challenges of Colombia's First Left-Wing President"
Gustavo Petro, Colombia's first left-wing president, faces challenges as he tries to implement progressive policies, with his efforts to appoint the first female attorney general being stonewalled. Despite some accomplishments, including tax reform and diplomatic ties with Venezuela, Petro has faced opposition from other branches of power, with his legislative agenda stalled and his government facing disciplinary actions and probes. Petro has also faced criticism for his leadership style, family scandals, and declining job approval ratings, leading to frustration and calls for support from his followers.
