## Resource

Colombia’s presidential race is neck-and-neck as conservative outsider Abelardo de la Espriella, dubbed “The Tiger” and endorsed by Trump, edges ahead of progressive Iván Cepeda—whose campaign vows to challenge the vote count amid fears of renewed conflict. De la Espriella promises to reverse peace talks with armed groups and crack down on crime, echoing El Salvador’s model, while Cepeda pledges to defend social progress and democracy. With the outgoing president also threatening to contest the result, the nation teeters on a razor’s edge—voters crave change amid violence and inflation, and the winner will take office August 7th, locking in a deeply divided future.
