Petro, unlike Chavez, is pretty opposed to the oil sector and would begin weaning the country off of fossil fuels. Though, he has stated that he will re-open ties with the Venezuelan government and Maduro, and he has voiced support for PSUV in the past. Nonetheless, he is a way better candidate than Hernandez who was entirely unfit to rule the country and he will work to help solve income inequality and social justice issues. He was a very popular mayor of Bogota for a while and many of his policies in that city helped alleviate poverty and help regenerate the environment.

Colombia is in danger of becoming another Venezuela, another Nicaragua and another Cuba.
