The Western Hemisphere is turning right.
Colombia lived today with strong emotions as Trump-allied right-wing Abelardo De La Espriella won Colombia’s Presidential election run-off by a small margin.
Espriella beat Iván Cepeda Castro. The candidate is supported by the current leftist president, Gustavo Petro.
Espriella got just under 50% of the vote, clearing a small margin of less than half a million votes over Cepeda.
Tupy Report on Telegram:
“According to bulletin 16 from the Registraduría Nacional del Estado Civil, the president of Colombia is Abelardo de la Espriella, with 12,901,860 votes, equivalent to 99.45% of the reported polling stations.”
BUT, to no one’s surprise, leftist President Gustavo Petro is disputing the results, and there are fears that he will plunge the country into an institutional crisis by rejecting defeat.
