ĭuque attended Colegio Rochester and graduated from Sergio Arboleda University in Bogotá in 2000 with a degree in law. Duque's siblings are Andrés and María Paula. He is the son of Juliana Márquez Tono (political scientist) (1950–) and Iván Duque Escobar (1937–2016), a powerful local political leader who was Governor of Antioquia, auditor in the United Nations, Minister of Mines and Energy, and head of the National Registry of Civil Status in the Government of Andrés Pastrana. ĭuque was born in Bogotá to a wealthy political family originally from the Colombian town of Gómez Plata, Antioquia.
The police response to the resulting 2020 Bogota protests and the ongoing nationwide protests left 13 dead and around 400 injured, and approximately between 60 dead and 2,100 injured, respectively. Duque's failure to continue unconditional peace negotiations with ELN (after the 17 January terrorist attack) was also criticised by opposition parties and sections of the public. However, poverty and economic inequality worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic.
His decision to provide temporary protected legal status to nearly 1.7 million Venezuelan migrants drew praise from leaders around the world. He ran on a centre-right platform that included opposing the so-called "Havana Accords", the peace agreement with the FARC guerilla group.
Backed by his mentor, former president and powerful senator Alvaro Uribe and buoyed by a populist wave, he was elected despite having been relatively unknown a year before the election. He was elected as the candidate from the Democratic Centre Party in the 2018 presidential election. Iván Duque Márquez ( Spanish pronunciation: born 1 August 1976) is a Colombian politician and lawyer who has been the current president of Colombia since 7 August 2018.
