Abelardo de la Espriella live: follow the inauguration ceremony of the new president of Colombia in Cali lbposting
Arriving as an ‘outsider’, the new president of the neighboring country comes with a tough security agenda and a marked economic shift, but it remains to be seen how he will execute that discourse. In an interview with this media outlet, the director of the newspaper “El Colombiano”, Luz María Sierra, reviews the current situation of her country and the expectations of her compatriots regarding De la Espriella.
Abelardo de la Espriella sets aside Bogotá and will be sworn in at a university auditorium in Cali. The opposition raises the figure of civil disobedience, terrorist threats arise, and the outgoing Gustavo Petro might not leave him room to maneuver
Whether liked more or less by supporters or detractors, Petro’s mandate broke molds and inherits legacies
Political scientist Patricia Muñoz Yi argues that Abelardo de la Espriella capitalized on the conservative vote and anti-Petrist sentiment with a more confrontational discourse that displaced the traditional right. Although he arrives as the favorite in the second round, she warns that Iván Cepeda retains key electoral strongholds and that the country’s polarization keeps the dispute for the Presidency of Colombia open.
Abelardo de la Espriella, who represents a hard and populist right, according to experts, will face Iván Cepeda, candidate of the Petro left.
