Colombia Ousts the Center [S5, E13] - a podcast by Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen

This is the first time that the left will rule in this democracy of 50 million historically conservative people, who have now expressed a deep desire for change. Gustavo Petro, a controversial former guerrilla, congressman, and Mayor, beat a rich and eccentric populist who ran from the right. Petro promises a radical transformation of Colombia’s economic model. Can he deliver? 

Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Miguel Silva, advisor, author, lawyer, and former Secretary-General of the Presidency in Colombia. Altamar’s ‘Téa’s Take’ by Téa Ivanovic examines the overwhelming youth support for Petro.
