De la Espriella quotes the "I can promise and I do promise" of former Spanish President Adolfo Suárez

On Friday, August 7, in Cali, Colombia, right-wing Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella invoked the famous "puedo prometer y prometo" (I can promise and I promise) phrase originally used by former Spanish Prime Minister Adolfo Suárez.

During his address, de la Espriella utilized the historical quote to pledge that he will govern from the nation's regions and actively tour the country throughout his presidential term.
