is as old as the same area.

the different types of climate, Bogota is more known for being a city with
very cold and a lot of rain

Origins and history of the Colombian peso:
The Colombian peso is the currency that circulates in Colombia since 1810,
year in which it replaced the real one that had worked until that moment.
After a series of changes, in 1871 Colombia adopted the gold standard,
linking the peso to the French franc with an exchange rate in which one peso
equaled five francs, a rate that remained until 1886.As for the managing
body, in 1880 the president of the country at that time, Rafael Nuñez,
created the National Bank of the Republic of Colombia, whose functions
included the printing of paper money that, from 1888, suffered an
accelerated inflation. After the First World War, the country suffered some
monetary problems, which led to the president at that time, Pedro Nell
Ospina, requesting advice in 1922 from the United States on economic
matters. The American experts undertook a mission known as «Kemmerer»,
led by Edwin Walter Kemmerer, under whose recommendations the current
issuing body was created in 1923: the Bank of the Republic. In 1931, when
the United Kingdom abandoned the gold standard, Colombia changed its link
to the US dollar, at the rate of 1.05 pesos equivalent to 1dollar, which meant
a slight devaluation of its previous relationship. This existed until 1949, when
the inflation of the Colombian currency ended with this exchange rate. The
convertibility of the Colombian peso for gold ends in 1931. In spite of the
foregoing, the notes issued by the Banco de la Republic continued to carry
their denominations in pesos pesos until 1993, when a claim filed by the ex-
senator Pablo Victoria before the Board of State made the word "gold" and
the term "pay the bearer" be removed from the bills.
BIOGRAPHY OF IVÁN DUQUE:
Ivan Duque Marquez (August 1, 1976) lawyer and politician. He was senator
of the Republic of Colombia of the Democratic Center party for a brief period
and is currently a presidential candidate. His father is an Antioqueño
politician, Ivan Duque Escobar, who was minister of mines in the government
of Belisario Betancur, governor of Antioquia appointed by Julio César Turbay
and finally he served as National Registrar during the government of Andrés
Pastrana. From a young age, he felt great interest in politics and learned at
face value the speech of the liberal leader Jorge Eliezer Gaitán. In addition, he
was the vocalist of a musical group formed by his friends, which they called
Pig Nose. After leaving high school, he entered the Sergio Arboleda University
to study law. Subsequently, he moved to the United States to do a master's
degree in law at the American University. He practiced his profession in
various international organizations in Washington. His career in the public
sector was a consultant to the Andean Development Corporation (CAF) and
advisor to the finance minister who at the time was Juan Manuel Santos,
current president of Colombia, at that time the president was Andrés
Pastrana. In 2017, Duque became Uribe's presidential candidate, after a
system of polls imposed by Uribe to decide the party's presidential candidate.
The following year he was presidential candidate of the Alliance of No and
was elected in an open consultation with the candidates of the right wing
Alejandro Ordonez and Marta Lucia Ramirez, won with approximately 4
million votes. Since the announcement of his candidacy for the presidency of
Colombia, all kinds of comments and polemics related to the publication of
false news about the Peace Process have been raised and to catalog
members of other parties as "castrochavistas", a term of discrediting coined
by Álvaro Uribe We can mention that one of Duque's proposals throughout
the electoral campaign has been the slogan of not allowing the country to
face the same situation in Venezuela. Several members of the Democratic
Center party have linked the rise to power of Gustavo Petro, also a candidate
for the presidency, with the decline and decline at all levels. As a result of
this, many controversies have been aroused as well as serious studies carried
out by political analysts who have expressed that it is a political and
advertising strategy to win supporters in the voting through fear and
Misinformation about Gustavo Petrol’s proposals. He was linked, according
to certain investigations, with the Ode Brecht Organization. It was confirmed
that Ivan Duque was meeting with the controversial businessman Dada
Mendonça, in the same meeting he was, Oscar Ivan Zuluaga who faces a
judicial process. Currently, the case is a matter of investigation by the
Colombian justice and the Brazilian justice. The magazine SEMANA awarded
him the prize as one of the leaders of 2016 and El País of Spain named him
the new leader of the right, although the candidate does not consider himself
right wing, but warns that his political ideas are more towards the center of
the ideological spectrum. The figure of Duque has caused in some parts of
Colombia greater acceptance for being a non-traditional politician, a new
face in Colombian politics. But, for other areas, this is a negative factor. He is
one of the candidates most dissatisfied with the plebiscite, since he affirms
that serious concessions have been made that place crime above the rule of
law. Its presidential program is summarized in: Economic recovery, the
frontal fight against corruption and delinquency, and the structural
improvement of health and education. It also has several proposals related to
the promotion of cultural expressions. He is currently married to lawyer
Maria Juliana Ruiz, with whom he has three young children: Luciana, Matias
and Eloisa. Duque is a conversational person, curious, studious, and lover of
books, culture and democracy, his interest is linked to finance, public
administration and law.
