The Tiger's Lair: Colombia's New Right Wing Government The inauguration of Abelardo de la Espriella marks a significant shift in Colombia's politics.
As the new right wing president takes office, he brings with him a promise to combat crime with an iron fist, echoing the policies of his admirer, Donald Trump.
De la Espriella's ascension is part of a broader trend in Latin America, where nations are shifting rightwards due to economic hardship and concerns about gang violence.
