The first 48 hours of Abelardo de la Espriella: three cities replace seventy decrees
The new Colombian leader is dedicating the start of his government to the announced alternate headquarters, without going through Bogotá.
Abelardo de la Espriella announced having 70 decrees ready to sign from his first day in office. But in his first 48 hours as president of Colombia, he did not issue any. Instead, he was in Cali, where he took office; in Barranquilla, the city where he has his law firm and to which he has announced he will seek to make into the alternate capital of Colombia; and in Medellín.
The Government did not start with the administrative push promised, but with a symbolic bet on decentralization which, as the days have passed, has become one of its main banners. Bogotá, the capital, did not appear on the agenda.
