VOICED : Santos logra mayoria relativa en el Congr

Juan Manuel Santos retained a relative majority in the Colombian Congress, securing 47 of 102 Senate seats. Álvaro Uribe, a critic of Santos' peace talks with FARC, was elected as a senator, strengthening the opposition. The elections were a precursor to the presidential race, where Santos seeks re-election. The results support the peace process initiated by Santos in 2012, but Uribe's party gained significant ground, posing challenges for Santos' legislative agenda. Uribe, now a key opposition figure, criticizes the government's policies and aims to counter perceived threats like Castro-Chavismo.
