Colombian presidential candidate Abelardo de la Espriella, a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, has outlined a staunchly conservative security platform. His proposals center on aggressively combating crime through a multi-faceted approach. De la Espriella is advocating for the formation of military alliances with both the United States and Israel to bolster Colombia’s security forces. A key component of his plan involves constructing large-scale prisons to house a significantly increased inmate population. Furthermore, he has publicly defended citizens’ rights to bear arms, signaling a departure from existing gun control measures. These proposals have drawn attention as Colombia prepares for upcoming elections and faces ongoing challenges with organized crime and violence.
