The article discusses recent tensions between President Gustavo Petro and elected president-elect Abelardo De La Espriella during a controversial ministers' meeting led by Petro at the Casa de Nariño. Petro expressed frustration over military personnel greeting De La Espriella, which he claimed was inappropriate since he remains the constitutional commander-in-chief. He criticized the military salute as 'lentejuela' (glitter) and emphasized that such salutes should only be reserved for military figures and himself. Additionally, Petro accused De La Espriella of election fraud, alleging 848,000 votes were improperly counted, though he dismissed it as less severe than larger-scale fraud. De La Espriella responded by accusing Petro and former candidate Iván Cepeda of orchestrating a coup to overturn the June 21 election results.

Presidente Gustavo Petro anunció que no asistirá a la posesión presidencial de Abelardo De La Espriella el 7 de agosto, rechazando la idea de que De La Espriella sea considerado un 'presidente legítimo'. Petro argumenta que la posesión debe realizarse frente al Congreso según la Constitución, y que los cuarteles militares están bajo su control hasta que De La Espriella jure. De La Espriella planea realizar su posesión en una guarnición militar, lo cual ha generado controversia.

El ex-presidente Gustavo Petro anunció que no asistirá a la ceremonia de posesión del nuevo presidente electo, Abelardo De La Espriella, el 7 de agosto, debido a su creencia de que hubo un fraude electoral de 848.000 votos. Petro sostiene que este fraude no ha sido comprobado judicialmente y, por ello, declara su ausencia tanto física como simbólica. Aunque tradicionalmente el presidente saliente participa en esta ceremonia, Petro argumenta que no puede reconocer públicamente a un mandatario que, según él, no representa la voluntad popular. Por otro lado, De La Espriella ha confirmado que se posesionará en una base militar del sur del país, pese a las objeciones de Petro. El proceso aún enfrenta resistencias dentro del Congreso, donde algunos grupos políticos se oponen a la celebración del juramento en un entorno militar.

President Gustavo Petro announced via Twitter a meeting with members of the Pacto Histórico in Congress to define the opposition's strategy during the early days of the incoming government. He warned that the opposition could face 'attacks on their legal stability' and urged compliance with decisions made during the meeting. The meeting is already underway at the Casa de Nariño, confirmed by representative Andrea Vargas, who stated it aligns with Petro’s announcement. Vargas criticized the Pacto Histórico, the largest political movement in Colombia, claiming it seeks to be criminalized and dismantled through violations of constitutional and international rights treaties before the new government under Abelardo de la Espriella has even begun. This follows the Council of State accepting two lawsuits against the merger between Colombia Humana and the Pacto Histórico, which completed their unity process. The Pacto Histórico, now in opposition after losing recent elections, is forming a 'shadow cabinet' to monitor the new government closely, drawing inspiration from the UK model where opposition parties create parallel governing structures.

The article discusses President Gustavo Petro's continued claims of election fraud following the June 21 elections, despite international observation and verification processes. Petro has consistently denied the results, citing alleged irregularities, but no concrete evidence has been presented. A technical intelligence report, obtained by El País, suggests there is no solid basis for these fraud allegations. The report, prepared by an intelligence-linked IT expert, states that no sufficient proof was found to support Petro’s claims. Despite repeated calls for action, including requests for his minister of TIC to investigate and for presenting evidence before the Attorney General’s Office, no such steps have been taken. Petro has claimed that information exists in a U.S.-based cloud system, suggesting data bypassing official channels, but this remains unsubstantiated.

The article highlights Cepeda’s call for Petro to transition into a new political role, emphasizing continued social transformation. It also notes the broader political context, including Cepeda's strategy of building opposition through civil disobedience and Petro's defense of election fraud claims against the elected president-elect Abelardo De La Espriella.

The Colombian president, Gustavo Petro, has refused to acknowledge the election victory of Abelardo De La Espriella, despite evidence confirming there were no irregularities in the voting process. During a recent meeting of the Council of Ministers, Petro claimed there was a fraud involving approximately 848,000 votes, which he attributes to an additional census count. This stance has drawn criticism from opposition figures like Congresswoman Katherine Miranda, who labeled Petro as a 'bad loser' and questioned his commitment to democracy.
