Security and drugs
Armed groups Defeat them militarily

As president he would end Petro's "total peace" policy on his first day and take back 400 municipalities from illegal armed groups.
“En mi gobierno se acaba ese mismo día la falsa ‘paz total’. Devolveremos la dignidad a las Fuerzas y liberaremos 400 municipios que hoy están a merced de la ilegalidad”
Our translation In my government the false 'total peace' ends that same day. We will give back dignity to the Forces and we will free 400 municipalities that today are at the mercy of illegality

The constitution
Constituent assembly No constituent assembly
Said
Petro's push for a constituent assembly is a mirage meant to deceive voters and distract from his government's failures.
“En el ocaso desastroso de su mandato, Petro se sigue burlando de los colombianos al inscribir el comité promotor de una constituyente imposible de convocar antes de agosto de 2026. Con inseguridad récord, escándalos y promesas incumplidas, pretende engañar y movilizar a votantes confundidos con este espejismo para distraer del fracaso”
Our translation In the disastrous twilight of his term, Petro keeps mocking Colombians by registering the promoting committee of a constituent assembly that is impossible to convene before August 2026. With record insecurity, scandals and broken promises, he aims to deceive and mobilize confused voters with this mirage to distract from failure
