A new security plan, dubbed “Plan Patriota 2.0,” is raising concerns about increased reliance on the United States and a return to failed militaristic strategies in combating organized crime. Critics argue that enhanced military cooperation will not necessarily translate into greater security for Colombia. The plan mirrors the original "Plan Colombia" initiative, but faces criticism for potentially repeating past mistakes. Concerns center around the inadequacy of purely military approaches to address the complex dynamics of present-day criminal organizations. Experts suggest alternative strategies are needed, focusing broader social and economic solutions. The initiative's effectiveness remains doubtful, with warnings of deepening dependence on US support and a resurgence of ineffective tactics.
