Colombias left formally files Bogota mayors impeachment request
Colombia’s left formally files Bogota mayor’s impeachment request
written by Adriaan Alsema January 3, 2017
With only a year in office, Bogota‘s unpopular mayor Enrique Peñalosa is already facing four formal requests for a referendum to impeach him, local media reported Monday.
If approved by the National Registry, the initiatives will be allowed to seek the 271,000 signatures needed to formally call an impeachment referendum.
. . .
Emboldened by the popular rejection of Peñalosa, Colombia’s left seeks to regain the political power that comes with what is considered the country’s highest political position after the presidency.
