00:00Now in Colombia, the Pacto Historico Party, the ruling party, registers its candidates for parliament with the National Registry.
00:07Our correspondent, Hernando Var, gives us more details.
00:11In Bogotá, the left-wing party, Pacto Historico, registered its candidates for both the House of Representatives and the Senate with the National Registry.
00:21The lists were drawn up as a result of its internal consultation held on October 26, which also selected the party's presidential candidate, who spoke about the expectations for winning a majority in the Colombian Congress, with support from the popular sectors.
00:39These candidates are not the result of elite agreements or hand-picked appointments, but rather the living expression of the will of the people.
00:51Who are calling for a new direction for the country.
00:59In addition, in this participatory exercise, we ratify a democratic achievement and recognize the fundamental role of women in politics.
01:09This political force and its congressional candidates are guided by the fight against the boycott by opposition sectors of the reforms promoted by the government of President Gustavo Petro.
01:37We will arrive at Congress to deepen the social reform that the traditional parties have been destructed, and here we have to talk about very specific things.
01:52In this context, it was known that the National Electoral Council gave the green light for the different political movements and organizations.
02:22organizations that make up the pacto historico to merger, a great convergence that allows them to strengthen their position to face the upcoming elections as a political power, whose application and approval had been delayed and torpedoed by the council.
02:36It means we won, because the National Electoral Council delayed granting legal status to the historic pact until the last minute.
02:46Today, the Democratic poll has disappeared, the Patriotic Union has disappeared, the Communist Party has disappeared, progressives, and a new life has been born, which is a political project to continue governing Colombia for a long time, to make changes and transformations.
03:01It is called the Pacto Historico-Political Movement.
03:08Just as the NEC has played a political role rather than a legal one, like a political party opposing change in the unity of the Colombian people, so too has the registry.
03:18The Registrar's Office was responsible for torpedoing and traumatizing the entire popular consultation process. Therefore, vigilance is necessary.
03:25The elections to choose members of the parliament in Colombia will be held on March 8, 2026. 100 candidates for the Senate and 34 lists for the House of Representatives have registered with the registry.
