The article discusses the ongoing power transition plans in Colombia despite the suspension of the handover process between outgoing President Abelardo de la Espriella and incoming President Gustavo Petro. The legal framework outlined in Law 951 of 2005 mandates administrative handovers between administrations, requiring outgoing officials to deliver administrative records and incoming officials to review them within 30 days.
