On Tuesday, September 22, Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella visited the tourist city of Santa Marta while visibly carrying what appeared to be a firearm at his waist. The president’s presence in the city occurred amidst a broader government initiative to militarize the area in response to violence perpetrated by an illegal armed group, resulting in unusually deserted streets during his visit.
The incident has sparked public debate in Colombia regarding the legality of the president carrying a firearm during his official tours. Legal discussions are currently underway to determine the viability and regulatory compliance of the president’s actions while performing his duties in public spaces.
