Abelardo de la Espriella administration in Colombia

Overview

The administration of President Abelardo de la Espriella in Colombia has begun forming its government and shifting national security policies.

Initial cabinet developments included the expected appointment of musician Aglaé Dinora Caraballo Mercado as Vice Minister of Cultures, Arts, and Knowledge. During this period, former Senator María Fernanda Cabal announced her intention to run for the presidency in 2030, noting she would not join the cabinet to maintain her own political agenda.

By late August, the administration moved to terminate three peace dialogue processes that had been established under the previous ‘Paz Total’ policy. Through nine resolutions, the government closed negotiations with the Estado Mayor de los Bloques y Frente (Embf), the Coordinadora Nacional Ejército Bolivariano (Cneb), and the Autodefensas Conquistadoras de la Sierra Nevada (Acsn). President De la Espriella characterized these negotiations as ‘false peace’ and ‘false dialogue,’ citing a lack of genuine will for peace and a failure to submit to justice. As a result, the government revoked the status of these groups as official representatives and ordered the reactivation of arrest warrants for members of the Acsn.

In recent personnel shifts, Carolina Gómez will no longer serve as a spokesperson for the administration. Gómez stated she declined the role after being offered a different position within the government, leaving Miller Soto as the administration’s sole official spokesperson. Additionally, following pressure from Transport Minister Elsa Noguera, the Colombian Chamber of Infrastructure reversed its appointment of Carolina Soto as president, initiating a new selection process.
