Abelardo de la Espriella turns his inauguration into a right-wing summit: “Colombia, from now on, ceases to be a pariah”
Los presidentes Milei, Kast y Noboa asisten a la toma de posesión del nuevo presidente de Colombia, con quienes ha mantenido reuniones bilaterales
Abelardo de la Espriella has turned his inauguration as the new president of Colombia into a kind of Latin American right-wing summit, where the region's main leaders have taken advantage of the microphones and stages to give echo to their ideas. In his first speech as president, he celebrated his triumph and its significance for the political shift in Latin America.
“In June, the possibility won out for Colombia to move along the path of freedom, far from the abyss of Bolivarian totalitarian models,” he stated. A dozen heads of state were invited to the inauguration, including Argentine Javier Milei, Chilean José Antonio Kast, Ecuadorian Daniel Noboa, and Honduran Nasry Asfura. Additionally, delegations from the governments of the United States and Israel attended.
