Recommended Portfolio: 349 days to go until the end of the 2022-2026 Petro era

Economist and former editor of Portafolio, Silverio Gómez Carmona, published the book '2022-2026: The announced disaster of the last Aureliano', in which he explains that on the afternoon of August 7, 2026, Colombia will have a new president in office, since Gustavo Petro or "the last Aureliano" as he is often called, will be history.

For this rebirth of the country to become a reality, we still have to endure a quarter of the non-stop rain that lasted in Macondo, very similar to the remainder of Petro's administration. See more: BogotaEats A Cielo Abierto 2025: What you need to know about a new edition of the festival.

The book, "The Foretold Disaster of the Last Aureliano," doesn't include what will happen during this period, but it does consider four possible scenarios with possibilities based on two key variables: internal governance and the internal and external economic environment. To fill this gap, so-called "scenario planning" has been used. This technique, as conventional wisdom would suggest, is not aimed at pinpointing the exact future. Precise prediction of the future is impossible, and the probability of its occurrence may be very low.

The president who will be elected in 2026 to lead the country's destiny will have a great responsibility from the moment he takes office, on August 7: to straighten the path and guide Colombia toward a "safe harbor." The task will not be easy, but it will not be impossible either, thanks to the resilience that characterizes Colombians. He will certainly be a good citizen.

It's risky to name him at this point, but the following simple exercise may shed light on the idea of ​​placing the country's leadership in the hands of someone who displays some of the attributes that abound in the country . It details the candidates, based on current preferences published by major polls and the opinions of a group of ten people informed on the subject who were informally interviewed.
