A recent opinion piece in *La Silla Vacía* criticizes both Abelardo de la Espriella and Iván Cepeda for their recent actions and statements. De la Espriella is rebuked for a performative and “farcical” approach to the government transition, likened to a political “Noah’s Ark” rather than a serious handover. The author argues the transition should be technical, transparent, and avoid political retribution or targeting of the opposition. Separately, Iván Cepeda's call for "civil disobedience" against the newly elected government is deemed irresponsible, given Colombia’s history of conflict and fragmentation. The piece emphasizes the weight of such language within the Colombian context. It stresses the need for measured rhetoric and a responsible transition process.
