Sopeda is severe, austere, serious.
He likes Nero collar shirts and cardigans.
I met him last year in his pretty unflashy apartment in Bogota, and he kind of almost academic or certainly carefully explained his.
of his very left wing views, and in particular his unflagging belief in this approach of total peace.
He promises to carry on with that despite its failance.
And economically, he wants a left-wing slate.
He wants land distribution.
He wants much greater welfare spending.
He even wants state procurement to favor small players like community kitchens.
And of course, some of this alarms business and markets.
But he tries quite hard and quite clearly to assuage fears and the claims of right-wingers that he would somehow turn Colombia into Venezuela, which next door, of course, collapsed.
into a sort of socialist dictatorship.
The right, of course, does not believe him when he says that, or at least much of it doesn't.
Well he's really surging in the polls right now.
And you can see why to some extent you attend his rallies and he's just a hyperactive performer.
He was dressed in a bulletproof vest, dancing around behind bulletproof glass, but in a kind of excited way, pumping up the crowd.
I met him in person as well.
He was more soft spoken, but he never misses a chance to flash a pearly grin with his spectacularly perfect teeth.
He says to me, I'm not a populist, I'm popular.
It's different.
