Re: [sustran] Bogotá elections....

Dear Carlos,

Thanks for sharing this with us.

Sometimes election results are surprising and unfathomable, but that is the

I am sorry Peñalosa lost. For a great number of us he was the voice and
image of Bogota, but perhaps Bogota is also changing.

Warm regards,
