## Resource

Colombia’s presidential race heads to a runoff between far-right lawyer “el Tigre” Abelardo de la Espriella and left-wing senator Iván Cepeda, sparking controversy over alleged vote irregularities. De la Espriella, who surged past other right-wing contenders, touts a hardline anti-crime agenda modeled after El Salvador’s Bukele, challenging President Petro’s “total peace” approach. Petro claims 800,000 phantom votes were added, demanding official scrutiny, but civil registry chief Juan Carlos Galindo Vácha dismisses it as disinformation, noting historical discrepancies are typically under 1%. Cepeda joins Petro in questioning results, citing “atypical voting patterns,” and vows to withhold judgment until electoral commissions complete their review. The race unfolds amid a broader Latin American rightward shift. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
