Abelardo de la Espriella: “Siempre quise ser penalista” | La Sala De Laura Acuña T50 E20

In this episode of Laura Acuña's "La Sala," Abelardo de la Espriella reveals a life marked by what he describes as a miraculous birth and a upbringing in a deeply traditional family. He speaks about his career as a criminal lawyer, the cases that shaped his character, and the profound disappointment he felt after what he considers a judicial setup against Álvaro Uribe. He explains why he decided to leave the legal profession to become—in his own words—a "defender of Colombia," driven by a visceral patriotism. He shares his perspective as a father and husband, and the role his family plays in his decisions. Finally, he outlines the reasons for his presidential aspirations, convinced that he can confront insecurity, rebuild institutions, and lead the country with discipline, moral conviction, and an unbreakable emotional bond with Colombia.
