AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

New President Under Fire: Colombia’s new right-wing president, Abelardo de la Espriella (“El Tigre”), was sworn in Friday in Cali and faced immediate backlash as two bombing attacks hit Saturday—one destroying a Pan-American Highway toll booth near Santander de Quilichao (Cauca) and another using an explosive drone to strike a police station in Cesar, killing an officer and injuring others. Security Crackdown: De la Espriella vowed “no refuge, no leniency and no impunity,” promising a hard break from former President Gustavo Petro’s approach and a tougher stance against armed groups. US Support: The US announced a $1 billion security assistance package for Colombia shortly after his inauguration, signaling strong backing for the new hardline agenda. Diplomacy Shift: Colombia also announced it recognizes Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara, a move described as a “new beginning” for ties. Safety Tragedy Abroad: In Brazil, a helicopter crash in Rio’s Tijuca National Park killed a pilot and three Colombian women from the same family.
