My novia is furious that this guy won the elections! I have been hearing about it all day. From what she says he is very corrupt and basically conned the poor people to vote for him by promising like $15 every couple of months per child of welfare. Sounds like a lot of our politicians actually!! Many students wanted Mockus to win, and they showed their disgust for the original election results by "struggles" at most universities. My novia's university was closed this past Thursday because of the "struggle" (riot). There is almost certain to be more struggles in the following days according to her. I have been doing tons of research on Colombia the past 4 months and keep up on current events as much as I can. I am interested to see the fallout from this.
