Colombia's low-turnout election and fragmented Congress reveal the country's ongoing struggle with social and economic inequality. The election outcome is a symptom of a broader issue, where decades of neoliberal policies and failed peace agreements have eroded trust in institutions and created deep divisions within society. To address this, Colombia must prioritize inclusive economic development and address the root causes of inequality.
