the fact that gustavo petro has got this far is a big dealfor colombia. this is a politically conservative country and since 2016, the left has become legitimised, it has not been as associated with violence as it once was. it still faces big challenges. people here are still nervous of the left after more than 50 years of conflict. add to that the situation in venezuela. the right has capitalised on gustavo petro's leftist policies, saying that if the left wins it could usher in a new venezuela here in colombia.

weeks i think though for gustavo petro he can to a certain extent hold his head up high getting forty percent of the vote is unprecedented in this country no leftist candidate ever has got to this stage in the presidential elections and no leftist candidate certainly has got forty percent of the vote he will carry on as a senator he will take his own agenda into the senate but for now we have what looks like a pretty clear victory we're waiting for the council to call it officially but when you have gustavo petro saying that he will make a concession speech in less than two hours you can pretty much guarantee we know what's going to happen you know that the writing is on the wall perhaps that's interesting what you say about this other petro coming than any other leftist challenger in the country before him and then he will remain a senator. to make life difficult for decay i mean potentially he could but i think the majority will be with you k. but i think it's very important for us to know that in this country a leftist candidate has never come this far especially with the agenda we

that's for sure if he does get that meeting petro sanchez of course is in a very difficult situation he's only got eighty four seats out of three hundred fifty in the parliament he doesn't have any sort of real mandate and you opened up with those pictures of the rally in madrid where most of the right wing sentiments hear him in spain is pushing for a new election because they don't say that it's there's no real mandate for pedro sanchez at the moment they say with those eighty four seats they want fresh elections and this is amounted to nothing but a constitutional qubit are so it's very difficult for sanchez what's he going to do it moaned he's treading water politically going through. a diplomatic diary meeting the president petro poroshenko of ukraine but he's got a lot to do is go to form the cabinet will he take ministers into his cabinet from but damn us who supported the no confidence motion on the far left will he take more help from the catalog. it's very very difficult simply to try and get a budget through it's going to be huge problem because the the conservative. peopl

petro managed to get around forty two percent of the vote eight million people voted for his campaign of fighting inequality fighting climate change perhaps even risk redistributing land to the poor so that is a major achievement for petro itself but this is a country that's long been dominated by right wing politics even before the polls opened up it was pretty much expected to do kerry would win we were there when the polls closed yesterday around four pm and by about four thirty you could see that an event u.k. was going to be the winner here he thought a campaign on law and order on boosting the economy and in general lines up with what most colombians think they want to stay to the right the fear of what's happening in venezuela next door is very much overshadowing here so they didn't want to go to the left they stuck basically with what they knew and again i thank you very much indeed. and he's in munich a rest in the chief executive of car manufacturer audi in relation to germany's emissions cheating scandal prosecutors say rupert sadler has been detained on suspicion of fraud

look at that from what we all know the no confidence motion is likely to go through which means mr petro sanchez will be the new prime minister and i would like to be the first to congratulate him it will be this chamber that will make the decision and it is up to all of us to abide by the mandate of the popular sovereignty represented here i believe that today we're opening a new page in the history of our democracy and we will now start reading the first paragraph so i can tell you without hesitation that we in the new government will put the interests of the spanish people above all else socialist party made a predator santy it is now spain's new prime minister that followed a vote of confidence which he called a week ago in response to a high court ruling which sentenced several leading. figures in marianna. people's party to have to jail sentences following a long running corruption scandal including the party's former treasurer it looked like a long shot at first because sentries only commands eighty four seats out of a three hundred fifty members chamber however one by one crucial
