Senator Clara López has taken control of the economic planning for Iván Cepeda’s presidential campaign. López revealed the campaign’s fiscal plan, emphasizing the need for precise budget cuts. She described the required adjustments as a “surgical reduction,” indicating a focus on targeted spending reductions rather than broad austerity. The campaign is currently in its final stages, and López’s appointment signals a renewed emphasis on economic policy. Discussions also included the importance of maintaining the autonomy of the Banco de la República (Colombia’s central bank). These developments aim to solidify Cepeda’s economic platform as the election nears.
