Former guerrilla fighter and longtime lawmaker Gustavo Petro defeated a millionaire businessman viewed as Colombia's Donald Trump on Sunday to become the South American nation's first leftist president-elect, riding a wave of mass anger over inequality, poverty, and the corruption of the right-wing political establishment.
' Peru's leftist President Pedro Castillo hailed Sunday's results as a 'historic democratic victory' for Colombia and said that 'we are united by a common feeling that seeks collective, social, and regional integration improvements for our peoples.' 'Brother Gustavo,' he added, 'always count on the support of Peru.' Former U.K. Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn joined the chorus of applause.
