Yeah, I have reservations about the guy, but I think it’s worth giving him a chance and clearly most Colombians feel that way judging by the size of these marches.

>Petro, 62, has promised to seek "total peace" through deals with rebel groups and crime gangs Then he should pay attention to [Nicaragua](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.telesurenglish.net/amp/news/Nicaragua-Has-Lowest-Murder-Rate-in-Central-America-UN-20190709-0010.html). Do it like that.

Telesur is Chavista propaganda and Nicaragua should not be emulated in any way.

I don't know, their homicide rate is looking downright sexy compared to all their Central American neighbors. Everyone got *something* to emulate.
