Juan Fernando Cristo Bustos (born 11 July 1964) is a Colombian lawyer and politician, who was a Colombian Senator from 1998-2014 Minister of the Interior from 2014-2017.[1] In this capacity, he played a key role in negotiating and implementing the peace accords signed with FARC.[2]
Juan Fernando Cristo is the son of Colombian senator Jorge Cristo Sahium, who was assassinated in 1997.[3] He studied law at the University of the Andes. Starting in 1993, he served Colombia as a diplomat for several years. After his father's assassination, he ran for the Colombian senate, an office he held from 1998-2014. During his last year in office, he was president of the Senate. From 2014-2017, he was the Minister of the Interior for the second government of Juan Manuel Santos.[4]
On May 25, 2017, Cristo announced his candidacy for Colombian's presidency in the 2018 election.[5] However, he lost the Liberal Party candidacy to Humberto de la Calle, who subsequently lost the general election to right-wing candidate Iván Duque Márquez.[4]
