In addition, Iván Duque Márquez is a Colombian lawyer, writer and politician, right now
is working as a president of Colombia for the Democratic Center Party. He served as
Senator of the Republic of Colombia from July 20, 2014 until April 10, 2018. Iván, in the
words of his friends, is "a bacán", for his good humor, it is easy and contagious laughter.
He is enjoying sharing his ideas and position on the future of Colombia. He is a musician
and likes to play the guitar to remember his rocker days. He´s a good conversationalist and
even better questioner, do not rest until you learn something new and interesting. However,
at the end of the day this is secondary to the possibility of sharing as a family, playing with
their children and educating them; dialogue with his wife and support her in her projects.
He´s taking care of his mom and keep learning from her. Ivan is missing his father and
honor his memory. Iván is still a normal Colombian: serious, conservative, familiar,
committed, hardworking, friendly, curious and recursive. In addition, he is a great reader,
lover of books, culture and democracy. Hence his patriotism, vision and conviction of work
to build a Colombia with opportunities for all.
He is moving forward to join the political life for the love of his country, for conviction
and for his vocation of public service. Iván studied law but fell in love with public policies
thanks to his father's teachings and combined his profession with his passion for numbers,
leading him to have a strategic vision of financial management exercised in Colombia and
abroad.
Finally, the president of Colombia, Ivan Duque is an important and recognized person,
nevertheless it is necessary that he improves in some respects. In first place he could be
more honest about the realization of his propositions, and obviously be clearer about them
because he said he wouldn't approve fracking, and as soon as he became the president he
approved it. He should stop the practice of hydraulic fracturing, fracking at least for respect
to all the people who voted for him, and he should respect the environment and nature of
this beautiful country too. In other place, Ivan Duque should improve the budget of
education as an answer to the student's strikes, it is a fair cause. Finally, he might be more
respectful when he talks about the people who has different ideas from those he has because
it is important that the person who represents a whole country be respectful in front of
everyone, it doesn't matter if he doesn't agree the thoughts of some people, anyway he must
respect them, Also He could contribute to the creation of spaces to apply for postgraduate
scholarships, nationally or internationally for professionals of all areas and the Mr. President,
could listen and be more attentive to the needs of people from Colombia.
