Episode Details

Colombia’s new president, Abelardo de la Espriella, takes the oath of office today in Cali — a bold break from tradition meant to signal his hardline war on armed groups. The 48-year-old outsider, who financed his campaign with his own wealth, won a razor-thin runoff and is now poised to shift Colombia rightward, abandoning past negotiation tactics in favor of military action. Nicknamed “El Tigre,” he’ll address troops after the ceremony and vow to treat armed factions as targets. His inauguration, attended by global leaders including the King of Spain, underscores a broader conservative realignment across Latin America. Meanwhile, outgoing President Gustavo Petro denies defeat, accuses the election of fraud, and warns of escalating unrest — setting the stage for potential nationwide tension.
