Tras sanción del Consejo Nacional Electoral a su campaña, Petro insiste en buscar firmas para una Constituyente President Gustavo Petro has renewed calls for a National Constituent Assembly after his campaign was sanctioned by the National Electoral Council (CNE) for exceeding electoral spending limits. The CNE imposed fines on campaign manager Ricardo Roa and the parties Colombia Humana and Unión Patriótica (UP) for financial irregularities, including undeclared contributions and exceeding spending limits in both the first and second electoral rounds. Petro asserts the CNE’s decision lacks guarantees for the left and frames the sanctions as an attempt by the oligarchy and mafias to regain power.
