[14:08] 🌍 Petro's trip to the UN in a tense context with possible expansion of sanctions for alleged electoral irregularities. DNews focuses on the critical importance of the upcoming presidential elections in Colombia, a strategic country for the United States due to its demographic and economic weight and its role in regional security, especially as the world's leading producer of cocaine. Attention is focused on the runoff election to be held in two weeks between Abelardo de la Espriella, strongly supported by Washington, and Iván Cepeda, the candidate of the ruling party. Gustavo Petro, the current president, faces a complicated scenario given his opposition to US support and his concern about internal and external pressure in a context of possible revelations about links to criminal groups. In a controversial act, Petro responded with a Nazi salute to a critical column, which was strongly condemned by the Israeli government and raises concerns about his rhetoric laden with antisemitism. Furthermore, the ruling party's campaign has rejected the election results and threatened social mobilization if its candidate does not win, generating significant political and social tension. Iván Cepeda finally acknowledged the first-round results, albeit belatedly, while Petro maintains doubts and signs of non-acceptance, which could foster a conflict scenario similar to that of Bolivia after the left's defeat. Polls show a close race, and the possibility of post-election conflict is ever-present. Finally, Petro's upcoming participation in the UN Security Council in New York stands out, coming at a time of heightened political tension, where his relationship with the United States is marked by distrust and warnings of electoral fraud that could lead to increased international sanctions. The current situation reveals a Colombia mired in deep political polarization with an uncertain outlook for its immediate future. 👉 Don't miss our "Narco Families" Special Playlist "Narco Families" complete documentary series 👇    • Familias Narco   🔴 The Latest News from Latin America 📺 700 | 1700 @DIRECTVLA 📺 22 | Telecentro 📺 570 | Flow 📺 514 | Claro 📲 @DGO_LATAM 🔴 +DNEWS +LIVE Schedules 🇦🇷 🇨🇱 🇺🇾 6 to 8 AM DNews at dawn 8 AM to 12 PM DNews in the morning 12 to 2 PM DNews first edition 2 to 8 PM DNews in the afternoon 8 to 10 PM DNews central Schedules 🇨🇴 🇪🇨 🇵🇪 4 to 6 AM DNews at dawn 6 to 10 AM DNews in the morning 10 AM to 12 PM DNews first edition 12 to 6 PM DNews in the afternoon 6 to 8 PM DNews central Follow us on our social media: X   / dnewsok   Instagram   / dnewsok   Facebook   / dnewsok   Threads https://www.threads.net/@dnewsok TikTok   / dnewsok   Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/0rUl2RS...
