Marco Fidel Suárez was a Colombian politician and writer who served as the President of Colombia from 1900 to 1904. He is known for his doctrine 'respice polum,' which translates to 'look toward the north,' reflecting Colombia's historical reliance on the United States for political and economic guidance.
