Episode Details

Colombia’s presidential race is heating up as Iván Cepeda pushes for peace talks with criminal groups while Abelardo de la Espriella vows a brutal crackdown on crime—echoing El Salvador’s approach. For many Colombians, the stakes are terrifying: fear of returning to decades of violence, displacement, and state-sanctioned atrocities. Blanca Nubia Monroy, whose son died in the “false positives” scandal, dreads de la Espriella’s tough stance, fearing history will repeat. Meanwhile, Sigifredo López, a former guerrilla captive, supports de la Espriella, believing only a strong state can end the terror. With violence at its worst in a decade and even guerrillas calling temporary ceasefires, this election could define Colombia’s future—or risk plunging it back into chaos.
