Colombia jersey ignites political debate
The Colombian national team jersey has sparked political controversy ahead of the country's presidential elections. Left-wing candidate Iván Cepeda used it as a symbol to protest his right-wing opponent, Helard De la Espreilla, for exploiting it during his campaign. Meanwhile, the latter capitalized on the enthusiasm by revealing the national team jersey as part of his electoral activities. Cepeda accused his opponent of stealing a symbol of national identity, while De la Espreilla focused on blending passion for sports with politics. De la Espreilla secured 43.7% of the vote in the first round, with a runoff scheduled for June 21.
