t 17 years old, Petro joined the guerrilla group 19th of April Movement (M-19). Seventeen years later it evolved into the M-19 Democratic Alliance, a political party. Petro also served as a councilman in Zipaquirá. He was arrested in 1985 by the army for his affiliation with M-19. After the peace process between the Colombian government and the M-19, he was released and then elected to the Chamber of Representatives in the 1991 Colombian parliamentary election. Some years later, he was elected to the Colombian Senate as a member of the Alternative Democratic Pole (PDA) party following the 2006 Colombian parliamentary election, where he secured the second-largest vote. In 2009, he resigned his Senate seat to run in the 2010 Colombian presidential election, finishing fourth.[3] He was elected mayor of Bogotá in 2011, and held the post until 2015.[4] Due to ideological disagreements with the leaders of the PDA, he founded the Humane Colombia movement to compete for the mayoralty of Bogotá. On 30 October 2011, he was elected mayor in the local elections, a position he assumed on 1 January 2012.[5] In the first round of the 2018 Colombian presidential election, he came second with over 25% of the votes on 27 May, and lost in the run-off election on 17 June.[6] He defeated Rodolfo Hernández Suárez in the second round of the 2022 presidential election on 19 June.[7]


Petro was born on 19 April 1960 in the municipality of Ciénaga de Oro in the Córdoba Department, the son of Gustavo Petro Sierra and Clara Nubia Urrego.[d] Petro is predominantly descended from long-established mestizo Colombian families, though his father is of one quarter Italian descent through Petro's paternal great-grandfather, Francesco Petro, who migrated from Southern Italy in 1870,[8] and Petro's mother is of half Italian descent via Petro's maternal grandmother, Lucia Pellegrini, who was from Conza della Campania,[9][10] thus earning him dual Colombian and Italian citizenship.[11] Petro was raised in the Catholic faith and has stated that he has a vision of God from liberation theology,[12] although he also questioned God's existence.[13] Seeking a better future, Petro's family decided to migrate to the more prosperous Colombian inland town of Zipaquirá, just north of Bogotá, during the 1970s.[14] M-19 militancy


edit Convinced that the guerrilla struggle could change the political and economic system of Colombia, around the age of 17, Petro became a member of the 19th of April Movement (M-19),[15] a Colombian guerrilla organisation that emerged in 1974 in opposition to the National Front coalition after allegations of fraud in the 1970 election.[16] He used the pseudonym of Aureliano, a character in the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude.[17]


During his time in M-19, Petro emerged as a leader; he was elected ombudsman of Zipaquirá in 1981 and councilman from 1984 to 1986.[18] In 1985, the M-19 assassinated 13 Colombian politicians at the Palace of Justice. This group was also involved with kidnapping and violence in villages across the country. He led the M-19's seizure of land to house 400 poor families who had been forcibly displaced by paramilitary groups, and then contributed to the construction of what would become the Bolívar 83 neighborhood. He then went underground and allied with Carlos Pizarro, one of the main commanders of the M-19, insisting on the need for a negotiated political solution to the Colombian armed conflict and the transition to a Constituent Assembly.[17]


In 1985, Petro was arrested by the army for illegal arms possession. He was tortured for ten days in the stables of the XIII Brigade,[17] then sentenced to 18 months in prison.[19][14] It was during his incarceration that Petro shifted his ideology, no longer viewing armed resistance as a feasible strategy to gain public backing. In 1987, M-19 engaged in peace talks with the government.[20] Education edit<


Petro graduated in 1982 with a bachelor's degree in economics from the Universidad Externado de Colombia[21] and began graduate studies at the Escuela Superior de Administración Pública (ESAP). Later, he started a master's degree in economics from the Universidad Javeriana but never graduated.[22][23] He then traveled to Belgium and started his graduate studies in Economy and Human Rights at the Université catholique de Louvain. He also began his studies towards a doctoral degree in public administration from the University of Salamanca in Spain.[24][25][
