Colombian political figure calls for creation of ‘New Right’

A political figure within the Colombian Centro Democrático party is calling for a movement to establish a ‘New Right’ in Colombia. The author argues that the party is currently facing an ideological crisis due to ambiguity regarding whether it represents the center or the right.

The proposal advocates for a return to clear principles, including limited government, low taxes, private property, and individual liberty. The text suggests that the lack of ideological clarity in the Colombian right allowed for the rise of Gustavo Petro and compares the situation to political shifts seen in Spain, Chile, and Argentina.
