Rightwing populist ‘El Tigre’ sworn in as Colombia’s president

Abelardo de la Espriella, known as 'El Tigre,' has taken office as Colombia's president, marking a significant shift in the country's political landscape. As a political outsider, he has vowed to tackle organized crime head-on and has proposed controversial plans for large-scale prisons in the Amazon region. His radical approach has sparked both hope among those weary of crime and concern from critics worried about human rights implications. This new administration's policies could reshape Colombia's security and environmental policies in the coming years.
