All candidates in the Pacto said that Colombia is not a democracy. All candidates in the other two coalitions said that it is.
I checked Freedom House’s numbers and technically the Pacto is wrong, Colombia is an Electoral Democracy by their standards…albeit with serious Civil Liberties issues, freedom of assembly being a particular problem. This doubtless will settle
that argument.
Colombia could’ve had Sergio Fajardo instead of Ivan Duque back in 2018 but noooo the left had to go with Gustavo Petro who was never going to win…
