Abelardo De La Espriella Sworn In as Colombia President, Pledges Security Crackdown
Abelardo De La Espriella was sworn in as Colombia's president, marking a rightward political shift in Latin America. He pledged a tough crackdown on armed groups and drug trafficking, ending peace talks with guerrillas, and promised fiscal austerity alongside reviving the oil and gas sector. His inauguration took place in Cali under heightened security, attended by regional leaders and a U.S. delegation. While investors welcomed his market-friendly agenda, his proposals face challenges in a divided congress and high public debt.
