Colombia’s new Congress commenced with a display of political positioning as members utilized protest signs to express their allegiances and priorities. Supporters of current President Petro, former President Uribe, and independent representatives all participated in this visual signaling. The signs, appearing in a plenary session, represent an early demonstration of the tensions and divides within the new legislative body. The gestures underscore ongoing ideological clashes and a "war" of narratives surrounding key issues. The use of signage – including imagery of bees – highlights factions’ approaches to governance and advocacy. This opening display indicates a potentially contentious and highly visible legislative period. The incident was reported by La Silla Vacía, highlighting the unusual methods employed for initial political statements.
