Abelardo de la Espriella ended all dialogues with structures led by alias Calarcá and other armed groups: “False total peace”

Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella announced from Barranquilla the definitive closure of all dialogue tables with armed structures linked to alias Calarcá and other groups, marking an end to the legacy dialogue mechanisms of the prior Gustavo Petro administration's "total peace" policy. De la Espriella characterized the initiatives as a "false total peace."

In a separate international development reported in the same regional news cycle, Algerian President Abdelmayid Tebún ordered a legislative review in Tunisia to reinstate the death penalty with execution for arsonists following a series of fatal fires that left 12 people dead in the country's central and eastern regions.
