Breakfast informed with the moves of this August 3, 2026

The article provides an overview of President Gustavo Petro's international travel record during his four-year term, noting he traveled to 32 countries and spent nearly nine months abroad. It highlights that while his ambitions were significant, his concrete achievements in these areas were more modest. The piece also mentions Claudia Benavides being named the new Minister of Science under President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella, marking the first appointment from the president-elect’s talent pool. De la Espriella hinted at plans including an alternate presidential seat in Barranquilla, increased subsidies for seniors, and breaking away from Bogotá-centric governance. The Pacto Histórico reported an attack on deputy Yesid Sandoval, though he was unharmed. President Petro is set to hold his final press conference before leaving office. The article concludes by analyzing the legacy of Petro’s administration, particularly its security policies focused on 'total peace,' which failed and allowed De la Espriella to adopt a tougher stance. Guest speaker Ángela Olaya emphasizes the need for sustained efforts in demobilization to ensure lasting change.
