VOICED : Oscar Zuluaga Colombia?s hardline opposition candidate

The transcript discusses the political landscape in Colombia during the presidential reelection of Juan Manuel Santos. Santos's success is partly due to the support of former president Alvaro Ribeiro. His opponent, Zuluaga, aims to distance himself from Ribeiro and take a tougher stance on peace talks with the FARC guerrillas. The campaign is marked by scandals and differing views on handling the rebels. While there is strong support for peace talks, Zuluaga appeals to those distrustful of the FARC and concerned about other issues like healthcare and education. The outcome of the election could significantly impact Colombia's future, particularly in terms of ending or prolonging the ongoing conflict.

What similarities exist between Zuluaga and Santos in terms of policy areas?

In what ways could the next president's handling of the FARC impact Colombia's future?
