WHAT HAPPENED
Abelardo de la Espriella was sworn in as Colombia’s president on Friday, pledging to launch a hard‑line campaign against drug‑running guerrillas and to strengthen ties with the United States.
According to the South China Morning Post, the former lawyer vowed to bomb jungle cocaine laboratories, construct "mega prisons," and reduce the size of the state. He and Vice‑President Jose Manuel Restrepo performed a campaign‑style military salute during the ceremony. The Associated Press notes that de la Espriella also announced a shift toward backing oil and gas production, while Deutsche Welle reports that his inauguration marked a clear move to the right in Colombian politics. The AP coverage from Cali highlights the president’s emphasis on a tough stance against armed groups.
De la Espriella’s rise represents a significant ideological shift for Colombia, a country long embroiled in a decades‑long drug and guerrilla conflict, and signals a potential realignment of its foreign and domestic policies.
