The Foundation for Press Freedom (FLIP) has issued a formal warning regarding Decree 1525, signed on October 13, 2026, by Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella. The organization contends that the new regulation, which modifies police intervention protocols during social protests, fails to provide adequate protections or guarantees for journalists covering these events.
The decree establishes updated rules for how law enforcement manages public demonstrations. FLIP’s intervention highlights concerns that the current language of the mandate may compromise the safety and operational freedom of the press while documenting police actions in protest settings.
