Ivan Duque vs Raymond Poincare

Ivan Duque won the Colombian presidential election as the candidate of the Democratic Center party, representing the conservative opposition to the peace process. He defeated leftist candidate Gustavo Petro in a runoff.

Duque proposed legislative changes to the FARC peace agreement, including tougher sentences for former guerrillas and restrictions on their political participation. The proposals faced opposition from the Santos administration and international observers.

Massive nationwide protests erupted against Duque's economic policies, proposed tax reforms, and perceived inaction on violence against social leaders. The protests lasted for weeks and resulted in clashes with police and multiple deaths.

Duque implemented strict lockdowns and a national quarantine to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The measures included economic relief programs but faced criticism for their impact on informal workers and the economy.

Poincaré became Prime Minister of France for the first time, serving from January 1912 to January 1913. His government focused on strengthening the French military and preparing for potential conflict with Germany.

Poincaré became Prime Minister for a third term from 1926 to 1929. He implemented austerity measures and stabilized the French franc, restoring confidence in the economy after a period of inflation.
