Former Colombian President Álvaro Uribe will not attend the inauguration of Abelardo de la Espriella, citing personal and legal reasons. This decision casts a shadow over a delicate, unspoken truce between Uribe’s political faction – known as Uribismo – and the incoming government. While Uribe offered no specifics regarding these reasons, his absence is perceived as a potential source of increased political tension. The move challenges expectations of collaboration after a period of significant political division. Analysts suggest the absence could signal continued resistance from Uribe’s supporters towards the new administration. It remains to be seen how this will impact the broader political landscape in Colombia. The news was first reported by La Silla Vacía.
