Gustavo Petro wrote the following message tonight and posted the map below:

“This is the Gran Colombia, it was Bolívar's idea and I propose by constituent vote of the population that we rebuild it as a confederation of autonomous Nations.

We would have common policies in the matters that the people propose.

Undoubtedly the commercial policy toward industrialization and being what it is geographically a center of the world and of Latin America.

A center of clean energies, of knowledge, of high-technology infrastructures for mobility and communication.

On those there would be a Gran Colombian parliament, a court of justice and a government council, like in the European Union or in the federal USA.

A potential for tourism and for world connectivity”
