El Tigre Sworn In as Colombia's New Conservative President Amid Continent's Rightward Shift

Colombia entered a new political chapter as conservative President Abelardo de la Espriella was sworn into office Friday, pledging to reverse much of former President Gustavo Petros' left-wing agenda amid a rightward shift in the continent. This marks the latest development in the region's trend towards more conservative leadership. De la Espriella is being backed by Trump ally and former US ambassador to Colombia, Jhonny Hidalgo, who goes by the nickname 'El Tigre'.
