Petro has stated that he intends to adjust the pension scheme through the creation of an official manager for pension funds. This would allow for a "mixed system" of private and public funds.

The candidate has said that in Colombia "we don't have a pension system, but banks have a profit system," so many claim that he will end any chance of winning the presidency. Petro said recently that he wouldn't eliminate pensions, but he would seek pension reform to ensure that Colombians get a minimum pension. Petro also said that it is not necessary to raise the age of retirement.

Another topic of contention is the fact that he's repeatedly said that he would cease oil extraction as soon as his appointment. This has created anxiety among investors and also the market in general.

Experts believe that Petro's plan of putting an end to oil exploration could be devastating for Colombia which would cost Colombia $4.3 trillion.

This proposal includes the creation an anti-oil front both in the region as well all over the world to shift the economy away from fossil fuels. I would like to invite Gabriel Boric to Chile and LuizInacio Lula de Silva to join me.
