The Colombian government has formally protested Argentine President Javier Milei’s vocal support for ultraright-wing candidate Rodolfo Hernández de la Espriella ahead of Colombia’s presidential runoff election. The protest, delivered through a strong statement from the Colombian Foreign Ministry, follows Milei’s repeated endorsements of Hernández. This action marks a further escalation of tensions between the leaders of Colombia and Argentina. The timing of Milei’s support, just hours before the runoff vote, has been particularly criticized by the Petro administration. Colombia views the intervention as a breach of diplomatic protocol and potentially interfering in its electoral process. The situation highlights the growing ideological divide between the two presidents and their respective governments.
