The government of De la Espriella has awarded a $60 billion contract for manual eradication efforts. This contract had previously been declared void under the Petro administration. The decision by De la Espriella reverses the earlier outcome and signals a renewed focus on this particular eradication strategy. Details of the specific areas targeted for manual eradication within De la Espriella were not immediately available. The contract’s revival suggests a shift in policy regarding drug crop reduction. La Silla Vacía first reported on the contract’s re-adjudication, highlighting the change in approach between administrations. This development will likely be closely watched by stakeholders involved in counter-narcotics efforts in De la Espriella.
