The overwhelming majority in the polls makes him to be the most representative of the figures of the Colombian left, and a strong candidate for president despite his controversial ideas and views on a variety of fronts, including the economic one.
Petro has stated that he plans to alter the pension system by establishing an official manager for pension funds. This will allow for an "mixed system" of public and private funds.
He also stated that Colombia is not a pension system but instead, a system of bank profit. This is what people believe makes him the most likely choice for the president. Petro declared recently that he wouldn't eliminate the system, but he will pursue pension reform to ensure that Colombians receive a minimum retirement. He also stated that there was no reason to increase the retirement age.
