Al-Nimr vows to combat gang dominance in Colombia
Abilardo de la Espriella, a former right-wing politician and lawyer, assumed the presidency of Colombia after winning the elections, announcing a stricter approach to combating armed groups and drug traffickers. He took the oath of office in Cali instead of the capital, Bogotá, reflecting his firm stance against violence and crime. He vowed to target drug camps and destroy coca crops through aerial spraying that is environmentally and publicly safe. He also emphasized strengthening security cooperation with the United States, along with economic reforms including spending cuts and tax system facilitation, while maintaining social programs. His administration is expected to shift sharply to the right, with an escalation of military operations against armed groups and support for a campaign against drug trafficking.
