Impeaching Pealosa, or taking on Bogotas political system?

written by Adriaan Alsema October 27, 2017

Dissatisfied citizens are close to a referendum on impeaching Colombia’s second least popular mayor, Bogota‘s burgomaster Enrique Peñalosa.

Peñalosa can count on the support of less than a quarter of the population according to a poll this week. He has been fighting an impeachment procedure for months.

The only mayor with a lower approval rating was that of Yopal, who couldn’t attend his own inauguration in the city hall because he was behind bars.

. . .

The procedure puts an even bigger dent in the credibility of Peñalosa, who was the establishment response to political outsider Gustavo Petro, the socialist former mayor.
