The Colombian Senate Secretary stated that the presidential inauguration may not proceed as planned if President-elect Gustavo Petro does not grant access to a military garrison. While Congress has the authority to relocate the inauguration to a military facility, final permission rests with Petro himself. This statement highlights a potential political hurdle in the transition of power. The issue centers around security arrangements and the chosen venue for the ceremony. Without Petro’s approval, the planned move to a secure military location cannot be executed. This raises questions about cooperation and potential disagreements between the outgoing and incoming administrations. The situation remains fluid and dependent on Petro’s decision regarding access to the garrison.
