La ausencia de acuerdos concretos se evidenció en una reciente reunión donde solo asistieron tres figuras políticas, mientras otros actores clave se ausentaron. La ruptura entre La U y Cambio Radical, sumada a las diferencias entre precandidatos como Germán Vargas Lleras y Juan Manuel Galán, complica aún más el panorama. Además, el Partido Conservador aún no define su candidato, lo que añade incertidumbre al proceso.
Mientras Petro mantiene una popularidad superior al 30% y promueve la continuidad de su gobierno, la oposición lucha por superar sus divisiones y presentar una alternativa unificada en marzo de 2026.
📰 Newspaper-style article (English translation) Title: Colombia’s Right Faces Internal Struggles Ahead of 2026 Presidential Race With just eight months until Colombia’s presidential elections, right-wing and center-right parties are grappling with internal divisions as they attempt to form a united front against President Gustavo Petro’s reelection bid. Despite exploratory talks among leaders from parties such as the Democratic Center, Liberal, Conservative, Radical Change, and others, progress has been hindered by political egos, unresolved disputes, and power struggles.
A recent breakfast meeting revealed the lack of cohesion, with only three political figures attending while key players were absent. The fractured relationship between La U and Radical Change, along with tensions among presidential hopefuls like Germán Vargas Lleras and Juan Manuel Galán, further complicates efforts to build a coalition. The Conservative Party has yet to name its candidate, adding to the uncertainty.
Meanwhile, Petro—who maintains over 30% approval ratings despite controversies—has made clear his intention to continue the “government of change,” leaving the opposition scrambling to unify before the March 2026 primaries
