Is Colombia ready for a woman President?

Este artículo está disponible en ESPAÑOL

In Latin America, Argentina was a pioneer in 1974, when María Estela Martínez (Isabelita) de Perón was sworn as President when his husband passed out, and today the country of tango has again a woman as a chief of State, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. Its neighbour Chile lives the same with Ms Michelle Bachelet. In Central America, Nicaragua was ruled by Violeta Barrios de Chamorro and Panamá by Mireya Moscoso. Even closer to Colombia, in Ecuador, Rosalía Arteaga was chosen as interim president.

Faced with the big advances women have achieved in Colombian politics since the establishment of feminine vote in the 1950s, it’s worthy to wonder if we are prepared for a woman to become President of the Republic.
