Efraín Cepeda, jefe del Partido Conservador, le dio un espaldarazo a la militarización de Santa Marta: “Con bajas si es necesario”

Efraín Cepeda, leader of the Colombian Conservative Party, has expressed strong support for the militarization of Santa Marta. The endorsement follows a decision by President Abelardo de la Espriella to deploy military forces to the city.

During his statement, Cepeda emphasized a rigorous approach to security, asserting that the intervention should proceed "with casualties if necessary." The remarks highlight the political backing from major conservative leadership for the administration's hardline security measures in the region.
