Oil is Colombia's #1 cash export so if they quit drilling, a falling peso is sure to result. The question then is if the narco operations are going to make up for the fall. They did in Bolivia but not in Venezuela. That would actually be good for mongers as the dollar would rise further still. The problem is you have promised the poor all this money and if you no longer have as much oil money, there likely will be relaxation on rules with regards to theft. In Brazil, Venezuela, Bolivia, Mexico, and even now in many of the Democratic states in the USA, theft went through the roof when the socialists moved in.
Duque was looking at tourism as Colombia's next great money maker, a good move, but he botched it IMO with his horrible Covid response. If he kept Colombia open like Mexico did, tourists would have flooded the country. If this guy wants to go ahead with the plan, he better keep Colombia safe or at least not worse with regards to safety.
The narcos like their women so the chance of the hobby going way down is unlikely. OTOH, in a few years, I suspect mongers will be looking over their shoulders a lot more than ever before.

JuJuBee comes across as an appropriately sardonic voice of reason on this topic. Where do people get the idea that change occurs so easily?? Modern politics move in sludge. No one asked me, and I am not going to give another opinion on this thread.
My guy lost. I doubt I will notice any direct impact on my-way-of-being. Actually, I loved Catgirl's response when I asked her if she cared to share who she was going to vote for, she told me, "I have a blank. " Jajajajjaajajajaaaaaa. She probably voted based on the sound of the candidates names, like many people do.

2. After his inauguration nothing will continue to change for several months.
3. After several months there might be some tiny changes, but it will likely take years before they have a significant impact on the mongering scene.
4. There's a microscopic possibility he will attempt to make some drastic changes. If so, the Colombian Supreme Court will almost certainly whack his peepee and nothing will change.

I wonder how the election of the former guerilla Gustavo Petro will affect the mongering scene? Will prices increase? Will the scene decrease? Who knows with liberal policies it may expand exponentially. Your next p4p encounter may be performed by a former Abogada or Enfermera. It may become a Profesiand de estreno or worst case scenario time to find a new mongering scene.

About the only noticeable change is the picture hanging in government offices. No golden age, no collapse, just minor changes that do almost nothing except get people to complain about how the nothing that happened under a previous President was much better or worse than the nothing happening under the current President.
The Colombian government, like most governments is a slow moving beast that doesn't like to change direction. It plods along no matter who holds the reins. Sometimes it shits on one side of the road, sometimes on the other, and occasionally right in the middle. The only guarantee is that everyone following the government is going to have to deal with some shit.

As for the metro conversation, I spent a good amount of time on it and didn't have too much of a problem with it. The residents of Medellin take a lot of pride in it and it shows. It's just too fucking crowded at times and that's from someone coming from NYC. Getting out of El Centro any time between 5 PM - 7 PM was a nightmare. After spending time in a hotel in LA 70 and one in Poblado, staying in the Nutti made more sense for me given how much I enjoyed El Centro. I'm leaning towards just staying there when I go back next month.
Anyone know if the construction is still going on in Parque Lleras? Or when it's expected to be completed?
And Osteo, my last comment about phones was that if you're using an eSIM, you can't move that eSIM between phones easily for most providers. A physical SIM can bounce around phones with ease. It's generally not a problem for travelling I expect to run into for travelling.
