## Resource

The Trump administration directly interfered in Colombia's presidential election in favor of Abelardo De La Espriella, a right-wing hardliner, against his leftist opponent, Ivan Cepeda. The Grayzone's Oscar Leon investigates well-documented charges of massive electoral fraud which may have tipped the scales for De La Espriella in the first round. If he wins, De La Espriella has pledged to emulate Trump’s draconian approach toward narco-trafficking, foreshadowing a revival of Plan Colombia, the US-sponsored counter-insurgency program that saw widespread human rights violations including the massacre of rural social leaders, mass displacement and the notorious false positives scandal in a failed war on drugs during the early 2000s. ||| The Grayzone ||| Find more reporting at https://thegrayzone.com Support our original journalism at Patreon: https://patreon.com/grayzone Facebook: https://facebook.com/thegrayzone Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegrayzonenews Instagram: https://instagram.com/thegrayzonenews Minds: https://minds.com/thegrayzone Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@thegrayzone #TheGrayzone ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLDqxDDDU34
