On September 8, 2026, Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella signed a decree lifting the general suspension on firearm carry permits in Colombia. The executive action has sparked immediate political polarization, with critics arguing that the measure fails to address the underlying causes of violence in the country.
In response to the decree, a senator from the Pacto Histórico coalition announced plans to legally challenge the policy. The senator characterized the move as a dangerous development, signaling a formal legislative and judicial pushback against the administration's decision to restore the legal carrying of weapons.
