Rising on Colombia’s agenda is President Gustavo Petro’s directive barring any military establishment from hosting the swearing-in of President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella.
President Gustavo Petro ordered that no military establishment be used for the swearing-in of President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella. The directive states all military facilities fall under Petro's command, escalating a dispute over the inauguration venue. Major Colombian outlets like Caracol Radio, El Tiempo, and El Espectador quickly covered the order.
The inauguration date is approaching; the next beat is whether an alternative venue is arranged or if De la Espriella legally challenges the ban. A court ruling or a public response from either leader could sustain coverage.
