Colombia’s new president: another swing to the left

The headlines could not be any clearer: Leftist with Plans to Upend Economy Wins Colombia Presidency. That in itself is a headline, but the real headline is something else: How Gustavo Petro has overcome decades of establishment rule in US’s top Latin America ally.

Columbia is part of the elite Latin American club that has gone to the left and away from Western dominance, especially by the US.
