00:00We look now at historic Pat Candidate Ivan Cepeda, a man whose life and career are deeply
00:06woven into the fabric of Colombia's history.
00:09Born in exile, Cepeda became a survivor of political violence after his death, Senator
00:14Manuel Cepeda, was assassinated in 1994.
00:17Choosing justice over revenge, he led a landmark human rights victory against the state at
00:22the Inter-American Court.
00:24As a philosopher and congressman since 2010, Cepeda has been a key architect of peace,
00:30facilitating the historic 2016 FAC Accords and leading current talks with the ELN.
00:36Now his candidacy represents the transition of a once-persecuted left into a governing force
00:42driving total peace for Colombia.
00:44Some of his key presidential goals include acceleration of the agrarian reform through the democratization
00:51of land ownership, guarantee social rights, ensuring universal free public education,
00:56strengthen preventive health care, combat gender inequality and also fighting corruption.
