Abelardo De La Espriella Sworn In as Colombia President, Pledges Security Measures
Abelardo De La Espriella was sworn in as Colombia's president following a narrow runoff victory over leftist Ivan Cepeda, marking a rightward political shift. He pledged a tough security crackdown on armed groups, including building mega prisons and ending previous peace talks. 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, challenges remain due to fiscal constraints and a divided congress.
