Cartagena’s mayor, Dumek Turbay, has ordered the removal of campaign banners belonging to candidate Carlos Cepeda from the city’s historic walls. Turbay stated the walls are not a space for political advertising or public display of campaign materials. The decision aims to preserve the integrity and historical significance of Cartagena’s iconic fortifications. This action underscores a commitment to maintaining the walls’ status as a cultural heritage site, not a platform for political campaigning. The order was reported by La Silla Vacía, a Colombian news outlet. The move signals a firm stance against using the city’s landmarks for partisan purposes. It remains to be seen if similar actions will be taken regarding other candidates’ materials.
