De la Espriella announces protocol for intervening in universities in the face of acts of vandalism: “They will not be sanctuaries of violence”

President Abelardo de la Espriella has announced two new administrative directives concerning security and institutional policy. The government is establishing a national protocol to govern law enforcement intervention in universities during acts of vandalism, with the administration asserting that such institutions should not serve as sanctuaries for violence. The specific criteria for when authorities may enter campus grounds are currently being defined under this new framework.

Additionally, the president has ordered a review of the status of individuals currently detained in military garrisons and police stations. Under this directive, authorities will evaluate whether these facilities meet the required conditions for housing inmates, with plans to relocate prisoners who do not comply with established standards.
