Episode Details

Colombia’s new president, Abelardo de la Espriella, is already stirring controversy with his bold plans to build massive prisons, slash government size like Argentina’s Milei, and call himself “The Tiger.” Elected by a razor-thin margin of 250,000 votes, he’s a political rookie with no governing experience and weak congressional backing, forcing him into tough negotiations. Security is his top promise—deploying the military against armed groups and aligning with the U.S. and Israel—while inheriting a bloated budget and economic challenges. With post-election clashes and the outgoing president questioning the vote count, political tension is already simmering. Experts doubt the feasibility of his sweeping cuts, setting the stage for a volatile start to his presidency.
