Duque: "El triunfo de Abelardo de la Espriella fue diáfano y sólido, contra todas las adversidades"

Following Abelardo de la Espriella's victory and Gustavo Petro's refusal to recognize his legitimacy, former president Iván Duque speaks with Andrés Oppenheimer about Colombia's future. Duque defends the solidity of the electoral triumph, harshly criticizes Petro's attitude, analyzes the president-elect's team and the signs of governability in Congress, compares—and contrasts—the Colombian case with the models of Bukele and Milei, and warns about the institutional limitations of replicating El Salvador's "iron fist" approach. He also addresses the new government's foreign policy toward Venezuela and Cuba, the role of Marco Rubio and Trump in the Venezuelan transition, the future of the OAS and the UN, the debate surrounding De la Espriella's dual nationality, and answers whether he himself will hold a position in the new government.
