Abelardo de la Espriella has assumed the presidency of Colombia and made his first visit to Medellín in that role to attend the traditional Desfile de Silleteros alongside the governor of Antioquia, an event that gathered thousands of attendees.
Upon taking office, the right-wing president announced a hardline approach against narcoterrorism, declaring that he will confront armed groups without truce and completely rule out peace negotiations. This shift in policy is also noted to recompose the strategic alliance between Bogotá and Washington.
